A GET is a little more insecure though...say i cant slip javascript
in but i am allowed to post an img or iframe tag..

img src=http://your-server/cgi-bin/post.pl?whatever i want here

as soon as your browser makes the request looking for even an image 
it will trigger the cgi script and hey there is another post on the board

cant do that with a POST 

even if i can slip js in...to achieve a post i have to have my script
write in an iframe then either load the html form and fill it in and
submit it or write my own html form to it and submit it...both take more
time on my end than just having a premade attack string then opening up
the iframe with it as the url. 

(i am focusing on using CSS to make other surfers on a sight attack the
server not using my own resources such as a perl script to post to the
server)
