[pubsubhubbub] Re: 7.1 New Content Notification; why request body required?

    Technically speaking, it's still a POST, though.  (I'm not advocating for it - I think we should still use normal POST conventions.)

    A POST with GET parameters is valid syntax, and it's even required that hubs preserve them on subscription callbacks for that reason.

Since all the publisher is sending is a couple of fields, why does it

I have to send is

hub.mode=publish&hub.url="" moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ongoing.atom" target="_blank">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="">

No content-type, no content-length, less work all around?
