When I post data and try to view source of the resulted document I get document expired.

Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox's cache.

   As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
   Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

This always worked before. It no longer works in these versions. Fire Fox 32.0, 32.0.1, 32.0.3

I Post this with submit button I am Posting the the current page. I am behind a username and password page This page is not SSL

The view source works in non protected directory.

When I click "Try Again" it brings up the non submitted data.


Sample code:

<?
if(isset($_POST) && sizeof($_POST) > 0)
	{
	print_r($_POST);
	exit();
	}
?>
