Yeah. I suppose a better argument is that I *know* that POST requests are not forbidden from having bodies. I don't see why doing it with a GET would make it any better. There are libraries out there that probably don't support a body with a GET request. No one uses it because it doesn't make sense to use it. -- Paul Bonser http://blog.paulbonser.com
