Basic navigation back issue (GET-POST-REDIRECT_BACK results in extra GET call)

Hi

@joemasilotti

I am on Hotwire Native 1.2.2 and have a non rails server (Hono)

Trying to do the following - which works on web.

The idea is to collect data in separate screens showing correct navigation presentations.

• From /page1, advance to /page2 (push screen on stack - works)
• In /page2 show a form to collect data
• On form POST store data in a cookie and 303 redirect back to previous page (/page1)
• Navigate back to /page1 popping screen off stack (works as expected as it is same url)
• In GET /page1
  • Render collected data
  • Delete data cookie

But when navigating back, hotwire-ios makes an extra call to /page1 and UI does not show collected data as it was deleted in previous call

--> POST /page2 303
--> GET  /page1 200 (data cookie gets deleted here)
--> GET  /page1 200 (EXTRA CALL that returns no data as cookie was deleted)

This might be similar to #178

Also struggled with these less documented functionality:

• Redirect to /recede_historical_location (hoping to avoid extra call)
  • Did not work as Hotwire tried to fetch this location instead
• "query_string_presentation": "refresh" for page1
  • Was trying things without POST but page1 kept showing stale content

I am at a large company and we are trying to move our native app to a hybrid one using Hotwire native.

Thanks
