It depends on the caching policy for the page and the method used for
fetching the page in the first place. If you fetched the page via
a POST, a refresh will re-send the POST data while putting the URL
in a new window will issue a GET to the server.
If the original request is a GET, the behaviour depends on how the
current page is cached. Hitting refresh will cause the browser to
check back with the server for the page (but not necessarily any
scripts or images). If the page is set to be cacheable then pasting
the URL in a new window might well just pull the page out of cache
without hitting the server.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks.
