It is common to treat post and get data in the same way; simply, user input. I find doing this gives you greater flexibility and clarity (my page gets input, I do stuff with it). All frameworks that I have used have done this and it's a real snip to do at the beginning of a request somewhere:
request.data = url; StructAppend(request.data, form); Of course, request.data could be 'variables.userInput' or whatever seems good to you.
