If you press the refresh button that it is obvious that chrome will ask to submit the form again with a warning message. If the forms are submitted using the POST then this error is displayed.
It means that the whole of the data that you entered in the form will be submitted again when you reload the page.
It occurs in the forms like when you pay using the credit card on a commerce website and send a verification, etc. The browser fills the form again while you click on the Submit button which in turn sends the form data using POST.
