Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56808 (project wget):
You are right. The combination of both options doesn't make much sense.
Using a POST request with --spider seems to be dangerous as it leads to
unexpected data / state on the server side. So this i not an option.
Silently doing a GET request is also not what someone would expect.
But not allowing the combination removes some degree of user's freedom of
choice. I am split.
