I'm being slightly and probably unnecessarily anal here, but actually when
you POST data, the data is passed back to the server in the HTTP request
body, not the HTTP request headers. When you send a GET request with URL
parameters, that data is in the very first line of the HTTP request headers.
On this very topic, there's a pretty neat new O'Reilly mini-book, almost a
pamphlet, which covers the HTTP protocol.
