GET vs POST [WAS: RE: URL display problem]
<snip>
POST method should
be used for
urls changing the server-state, and GET for urls which does not change
the state if possible.
</snip>
Of course sometimes you need to GET some stuff you would rather post. I had
some stuff I was checking for in the RequestProcessor that was POSTED that I
had to switch over to putting as a parameter in the url as I needed access
to it before form population and request.getParameter() was no good, as it
was a multipart form which struts doesnt create a request wrapper for until
form population time...

But beware! This does NOT mean any security at all. POST method should
be used for
urls changing the server-state, and GET for urls which does not change
the state if possible.

Yes. That's why I wrote 'if possible'.
