Github user markt-asf commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/96 Getting back to whether readOnly should affect POST, my own view is that it should not. readOnly refers to whether the default Servlet can change static content. For static content request parameters (via GET or POST) are irrelevant since they are ignored. Hence why POST defers to GET. Neither change existign content hence neither should be affected by readOnly. If the default Servlet (or WebDAV since it extends the default Servlet) used the request parameters then it might (depending on how they were used) be different.
