>Description:
I'm using ErrorDocument 404 directive to redirect to index.php3 so that I can
lookup the URL in a database and display the corresponding page. This works OK,
but when a POST form is used, REQUEST_METHOD is GET, not POST, so PHP does not
use the content (even though it has a length, etc.) to create HTTP_POST_VARS.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above
>Fix:
If there is a redirect, the post needs to be redirected (at least for 404
redirects), which means REQUEST_METHOD should be the same as
REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD.
