Apply "Refresh" on the Replay interface by default #94

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Some pages only present their embedded images after "Refreshing" the archived 
page.

However, most users do not do this and get a poor user experience from the PWA 
service.

Thus, the suggestion is that the Javascript that rewrites the links within the 
archived page would also include a command to force the Refresh of the archived 
page. The "Refresh" command should be the last one to be executed by the script.

The effectiveness of thus change must be carefully tested because it will 
impose additional load on the system. The Document Servers will receive two 
requests per access to each web archived page.

I believe that this effort will payoff.

This change should considered when the new interface for the Replay bar is 
implemented.

We spotted another issue that should be related.

Even after refreshing the page, the images dont appear. While loading the image 
we can see the images but after page load completes it disappear.

This problem was reproduced in Ubuntu Desktop with Chrome and Firefox Browsers
