[Rhodes22-list] New search feature link bug?

[Peter Nyberg]

Mike,

Hmmm indeed.

I've found that I can create similar behavior in both Safari and Firefox, but it is very puzzling.

There's a file of PHP code associated with the URL 'email-archives.html'.  If that code receives no additional parameters, it will create a web page that displays the list of post subjects for the current month.  If it receives a 'post=' parameter, it will create a page that displays that single post. That's all controlled by code I wrote.

What I've found is that if I quit my browser application, then click on the link for post 104513 in my email client, the browser app will open and display the list of all posts for the month, essentially ignoring the 'post=' parameter.  If I then click on the link in my email client a second time, a second tab is opened in the browser app, and the new tab will display just the individual post as it should.

I'd call this a browser bug, except both Safari and Firefox behave exactly the same way.

Personally, I never quit my browser app, so I never would have discovered this.

I'm not sure what can be done about this...
