Blazor (Server) Exception when clicking on back button (or navigating) from a non blazor page

[RobinHood-80]

Describe the bug

Sometimes hitting a back button in the browser, or navigating back (even programmatically) a blazor exception is raised after the page is loaded.

To Reproduce

please clone this repo and open on vs2019 then run it: https://github.com/RobinHood-80/Bug
the main page show detailed steps on how to reproduce in the most deterministic way the issue.
in this page there are also listed the main info about environment configuration etc.

i think is somewhat similar to this #24626

Instructions on how to reproduce the problem:

1. There are two links on this page. To reproduce the issue you need to click on the "One", with green background.
2. After you clicked, you will see another blazor page with a link to a std mvc page, click this link
3. As soon the standard mvc page a count down appear, now you should have only this page displayed on the browser
4. right-click on the browser tab and select Duplicate from the context menu.
5. Click on the "cloned" tab to select it and then right-click on the browser Tab select another duplicate.
6. now switch to the most recently cloned tab and repeat the process at [5] until you have 4 tabs opened.
7. wait until the count down reaches to zero on all tabs
8. switch to the last cloned tab (should be the right most one), the button below "click me to show the error" should be enabled
9. click on the button this will execute a "history.back() javascript code."
10. when the previous page mentioned on (2) appear you should see after a short moment the yellow bar of execption.
11. open the browser console. watch out the exception message about the "component record order"

A side note: while clicking on the button on a cloned tab raises the error at least on 90% of situations, i've not been able
to reproduce the issue if i click on the first (original) tab

The project uses prerendered mode. I suspect (judging by the delay)
that the error is in some way related to a timing issue that make the prerendered tree not in sync with the second render tree
that happens after the page is loaded.

Hi, further investigations showed me another interesting thing. As said, the issue arise only by doing history.back() javascript code but ONLY on a cloned tab. the first original tab does not trigger the exception , when the problem arise i should see the usual CircuitHandler (see console output) event arise, but they are not here, instead when the problem do not arise i see the usual
onCirquitXXXX onConnectionXXXX event from my custom circuithandler class.

also i does appear to be a slight difference between navigating back via browser button and doing the same via history.back().
It is more likely that the problem shows up doing a javascript. history.back()

@RobinHood-80 thanks for contacting us.

I think this is caused by the caching headers not being properly set. You can set them on a meta tag on _Host.cshtml or as a header in the HTTP response.

[RobinHood-80]

Hello, Thx for your reply, however: i've already tr i ed this solution. Maybe the browser does not honour the meta tags (it is known they are not so reliable), so i've tryed also with http headers, with no luck. is there a way or a centralized place in asp.net where i can set the caching headers in a way that it does affect ALL http requests and any other forms of comunications on the wire including the signalR traffic ?

Hi, after some testing i've verified that the problem disappear if the proper http header for cache management is sent to the browser. So i confirm it's a cache issue.
Thx, for support.
