duplicateCachedPage delete wrong page if using REST principles

[asyraf9]

Hi there folks,

if using REST, (i'm using rails here) - when for example, you want to work with a database of patients

http://localhost/patients/ - GET retrieves a list of all the patients, BUT
http://localhost/patients/ - POST creates a new record of the patients.

this creates some confusion on the pages due to duplicateCachedPage - lets say - you want to return a page that shows the particular created record after form submission, then jquerymobile deletes the wrong page and returns another in its stead (with the wrong data-url). if no data-url is defined on the returned page, it then gets the url we submitted it to (which in this case is /patients/) thereby ruining the meaning of the page (in this particular use case).

Of course the returned page after form submission can be handled by defining data-url on it, but the page with the list of patients is still removed due to duplicateCachedPage. On mobile view this may seem to not be a problem, since the deleted page will then be reloaded again when requested, but in splitview it simply clears an entire panel - breaking it.

my suggestion is, if a data-url is defined on the returned page (the one returned after form submission) - which jquerymobile is checking for when doing an ajax request - then we need to clear duplicateCachedPage because it means that the url requested is not the url returned, thus it is not a page refresh.

NOTE - the ajax request I'm talking about is in line 570 of jquery.mobile.navigation.js

Thanks, we'll take a look at this soon as we're re-factoring the URL handling in navigation already:https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/wiki/Refactor:-navigation-paths

Kin - was this covered in the URL re-write?

@asyraf9 - is this still an issue with the latest code?

[asyraf9]

so far so good, but i'll test again just to make sure.

I have an issue with duplicates when submitting form, maybe its related.
If I have page with data-role="dialog" and after submitting form, dialog page gets duplicated.
For example, we have main page with login button, which is href with data-rel="dialog".
When dialog is opened, address is like http://localhost/Account/Login#&ui-state=dialog
If you try to submit form 3 times (with empty fields, which causes server side validation errors), address will look like http://localhost/Account/Login#&ui-state=dialog&ui-state=dialog&ui-state=dialog&ui-state=dialog and you will have to press "close dialog" (or any data-role="back" button, or browser back button) 4 times to return to main page.

Sounded like the original issue was resolved so closing. @Savvkin - if you're still seeing an issue, please post as a new issue.
