Since all the publisher is sending is a couple of fields, why does it have to send a request body? For example, to hook up my own blog, all I have to send is
hub.mode=publish&hub.url=http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ongoing.atom So I'm wondering why I can't just POST an empty body to http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/?hub.mode=publish&hub.url=http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ongoing.atom No content-type, no content-length, less work all around? -T
