Re: [hobbit] Strange "problem" with refreshes
Yup, it seems to be a fundamental property of how Firefox handles refreshes. If you refresh a SSL page, it bounces to the top. A non-SSL page stays where it is. 

I've tried it with other web pages, and they all function that way.

So you're telling us that the only variable you changed was SSL and it
worked perfectly?

Very odd...

I found the answer.  It's pretty simple really...

I was using SSL with my hobbit server.  With SSL'ed web pages, refreshes
force you back to the top of the page.  NonSSL'ed web pages (which I had
totally disabled) work fine.

Now I just need to hack up the header files so the secure areas point to
SSL even when I'm looking at the nonSSL pages.  But as I already ran into
the header files while debugging this, that should be trivial.

Thanks for the help!

I am using this for an Apache server:

Latest and greatest package from the default repo's.  Using CentOS 5

(which

is RHEL based).

I honestly have no idea how the page stays position.  It has to do

something

along the lines of cache, but that is a client side thing so...my ideas

stop

here =(

Please let us know what you come up with.  I know I would like to know

the

resolution to this.

Brilliant thought....

The demo does maintain position exactly as I want.  So it definitely

isn't

hobbit in general.  My best guess now is it somehow lies in my Apache.
That's just RedHat's stock Apache 2.0.52, but it may be related to a
module (I shutoff the mods I wasn't using).... at least I have

something

to poke at now....

Troubleshooting technique!

Use the Hobbitmon demo on the project page.  This was the only page

long

enough (for me - 1680x1050 resolution) for me to scroll down and

maintain my

position.

Does this maintain position for you, Scott?
