Tiny suggestion for IE7 - <Enter> in address bar should result in HTTP GET refresh

A little gripe I have with IE when doing ASP.NET development is that when you've tested a page (with some PostBack), fix or add something and recompile, you'd usually want to refresh your page without re-posting, so not performing the postback. When pressing Enter in the address bar, nothing happens. The expected behaviour would be for the browser to perform a HTTP GET request for the current URL in the address bar. Pressing F5 obviously performs a re-post. Maybe the Cancel button on that dialog asking to re-post should perform a HTTP GET?

And yes, I know this already exists in FireFox.

What do you think? Surely I'm not the only one who finds this a pain in the backside...

Hopefully the IE team is listening. It's only a five minute job, really.

I agree entirely. It's very annoying to perform a postback when refreshing a page. The IE team should do something about it for the next release.

What I do is copy the url, click on my google link on the links tool bar, paste the url back and hit enter.

That is quite annoying.
I'm not certain, but it seems that IE 5 didn't have this behavior.

Hitting enter in the address bar should cause an http GET of the url.

Hitting the Refresh button should resend the same request whether it is a post or a get.

I hit the end key, then add a "?" at the end of the url. On postback the empty "?" gets removed so I can do it again.

Agreed...big pain! Should be fixed.

Gets my vote! I especially hate when you've changed an external file like a .js file or something, and because of normal cacheing you actually have to do a Ctrl-F5 to get it to download the new .js file.

I guess I could tweak my caching settings to check for updates every request, but I also use IE for normal browsing, and I don't want that setting of *every* site (after all, it's only my development sites where it can update that frequently!)

So yeah, some way to force a HTTP GET refresh (with the same semantics as a Ctrl-F5 - no caching) for a single page would be great!
