don't know what the HTTP RFC says, but I guess it wouldn't matter, since Netscape's has to be the de-facto standard.

The RFC says that allowing a redirect to a POST is unsafe and that clients shouldn't do it. To do so is evil and guaranteed to act weird with all browsers. Some will convert to GET style and happily send your data to the error page you got because the CGI is broken. Others ask and some fail silently.

I think that you will find people rather unhappy with you offering to break compliance with a standard. Make sure the patch you offer is both optional and defaults to off.

Sarcasm about Netscape being "standard" removed before posting =) =)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
