Your argument is full of assumptions. (1) Sending GET requests to an arbitrary URI is much more dangerous than sending arbitrary POST requests. (2) Redirecting a POST request will mean that data won't get POSTed to the new URI. Please go read http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/post-redirect.html, HTTP specs just say the user must not be automatically redirected. I've seen the behavior of web browsers after redirection on a POST and this has never stopped me from sending the POST message. Basically I think you've unhealthily fixated on this "problem" when worse problems exist with the entire usage of XML over HTTP for delivering Atom feeds. ===== THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #222 I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious.
