Bug 115969 – Value of FrameLoadTypeSame is suspicious

• Component: Page Loading
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

This seems wrong:

    enum FrameLoadType {
        FrameLoadTypeStandard,
        FrameLoadTypeBack,
        FrameLoadTypeForward,
        FrameLoadTypeIndexedBackForward, // a multi-item hop in the backforward list
        FrameLoadTypeReload,
        // Skipped value: 'FrameLoadTypeReloadAllowingStaleData', still present in mac/win public API. Ready to be reused
        FrameLoadTypeSame = FrameLoadTypeReload + 2, // user loads same URL again (but not reload button)
        FrameLoadTypeRedirectWithLockedBackForwardList, // FIXME: Merge "lockBackForwardList", "lockHistory", "quickRedirect" and "clientRedirect" into a single concept of redirect.
        FrameLoadTypeReplace,
        FrameLoadTypeReloadFromOrigin,
    };


        FrameLoadTypeSame = FrameLoadTypeReload + 2, // user loads same URL again (but not reload button)
so FrameLoadTypeSame == FrameLoadTypeRedirectWithLockedBackForwardList ?

And isn't FrameLoadTypeSame supposed to match WebFrameLoadTypeSame in WebKit?

Or is FrameLoadTypeSame supposed to match FrameLoadTypeReplace? If so, that's a very fragile way to do it.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Per this definition, FrameLoadTypeReplace is FrameLoadTypeReload + 4.

In other words,

    enum FrameLoadType {
        FrameLoadTypeStandard, // 0
        FrameLoadTypeBack, // 1
        FrameLoadTypeForward, // 2
        FrameLoadTypeIndexedBackForward, // 3
        FrameLoadTypeReload, // 4
        // Skipped value: 'FrameLoadTypeReloadAllowingStaleData', which used to be 5
        FrameLoadTypeSame = FrameLoadTypeReload + 2, // 6
        FrameLoadTypeRedirectWithLockedBackForwardList, // 7
        FrameLoadTypeReplace, // 8
        FrameLoadTypeReloadFromOrigin, //9
    };

Can you clarify what seems wrong? AFAICT, it's exactly what the comment says - we removed FrameLoadTypeReloadAllowingStaleData without changing values of other values.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

Tired brain was tired. Still, I think it would be clearer to replace:

        // Skipped value: 'FrameLoadTypeReloadAllowingStaleData', still present in mac/win public API. Ready to be reused
        FrameLoadTypeSame = FrameLoadTypeReload + 2, // user loads same URL again (but not reload button)

with
        FrameLoadTypeUnused, // Skipped value: 'FrameLoadTypeReloadAllowingStaleData', still present in mac/win public API. Ready to be reused
        FrameLoadTypeSame,
