Add method attribute to html:link
---------------------------------

                 Key: STR-2928
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2928
             Project: Struts 1
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Taglibs
         Environment: all
            Reporter: David Durham
            Priority: Minor


It would be nice to have the html:link tag accept an optional "method" 
attribute that defaults to "get" and when set to "post" does one of a couple 
different things.

1 - adds a form, method="post" with hidden elements and a javascript link to 
submit the form.

2 - adds a form, method="post", with hidden elements and a button to trigger 
the action

This is needed because of the issue brought to light by google accelerator wrt 
URLs that do something other than retrieve data-- they need to be HTTP POSTs.  
So a common use case for html:link is to create "delete" links, which should be 
http POSTs.
