According to HTTP/1.1 specs, POST method, page 55, RFC 2616: "Responses to this method are not cacheable, unless the response includes appropriate Cache-Control or Expires header fields." http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt
So, Nutch _should_not_ store anywhere information retrieved via POST... Web-Developers _expect_ that such pages won't be cached... Suppose we have a form on a forum (or simple 'Contact Me' form), will Nutch post dummy messages? It was fixed as a bug, and Nutch does not follow 'post' anymore (I believe...) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Honda-Search Administrator Bruce, There is no reason you shouldn't be able to use POST, especially if you use the opensearch method to display your results.
