[mod_rewrite] Convert POST to GET

Hi,

Due to our backend implentation limitation, I need to convert POST request
to GET in our proxy server running apache2.2. I read that mod_rewrite can't
do it alone since POST variables are not accessible. I have looked at
apache2::POST200 and doesn't understand how it can apply to solve my
problem.

Does anyone here have experience handling this kind of situation?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Joe.

I was thinking exactly the samething, but hoping for a more elegant way to
handle in apache to avoid the extra hops.

I would have "solved" that trouble by creating a content generator 
module, read the POST data, and create a sub request (could be a proxy 
request). One thing you will need to be aware of is the GET data will 
have to be limited. It's one of the reasons why POST came into existence.
