Using a GET / HEAD method, the IF statement never executes.
Nor would it -- the exclamation point isn't in the right place.
This statement is saying "if not-$query->request_method() equals POST", but "not-$query..." makes no sense.
But an exclamation point is the wrong approach here. If you want to say that $foo should not equal $bar, use the "not equal" condition -- 'ne':
if $Query->request_method() ne "POST" { exit; }
That should do what you want.
