> Although the option to kill jobs via the web interface is turned off by default, it should be made safer. Currently the "kill" action and its confirmation is just a link so it could be triggered by a crawler or by a browser's pre-fetching mechanism. The attached patch makes it work only with "POST" so that e.g. well-behaved crawlers shouldn't be able to access it.
