Description fd 2009-06-30 10:14:13 UTC
Error descriptions contain links to external sites. Once users have clicked on these sites, there is no way for them to go back to the results page without triggering a new mobileOK check. In other words, the "Back button" is not correctly handled.
Comment 1 fd 2009-07-02 14:46:09 UTC
The please wait page now polls for update and expects some simple XML in an ad-hoc format:

 <tasks>
  <task id='[taskid]'>
   <status>[done|running|error|</status>
  </task>
 </tasks>

The user is redirected to the result page when status switches to "done". Thus, the results page has a proper URI and the back button returns to that URI when going back from an external site.

The back button is still not handled properly within the page though, i.e. sections that may have been expanded by the user are not expanded when it goes back to the page. See Bug 7074.
