I just tried sending a POST request with query string parameters and empty body to http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com and received 204 No Content response.
Here is the Request: POST /publish?hub.mode=publish&hub.url=http%3A%2F%2Fsergeylukin.com%2Ffeed&something=else HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Fiddler Host: pubsubhubbub.appspot.com Content-length: 0 and here is the Response: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Type: text/plain Expires: Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:15:35 GMT Server: Google Frontend Content-Length: 0 What do you think? Does it mean that pubsubhubbub.appspot.com is running a different version (not 0.3) of PSHB specification?
