But sometimes I intentionally use "GET", because it's creates a bookmarkable/reloadable URL. For example, on one screen I might have a selection list for melons. On the resulting page, I get this: view-melon.cgi?melon_id=326 This handy for users who might bookmark this page, as well for developers, who might want to reload the page several times in a row after tweaking the code. I would say: use POST by default, and GET when you intentionally want it's usefulness for particular cases.
