Yes, though it's a bit of a long dry read. My concern with what you (Greg) have described so far as wanting to do is summed up by this paragraph from that rfc: In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe". This allows user agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT and DELETE, in a special way, so that the user is made aware of the fact that a possibly unsafe action is being requested. You're essentially pulling a fast one on your users if you turn their innocent clicking on a link into something that does some kind of POST processing. But, what exactly is the function searchresult doing? From its name it sounds more like a data search/retrieval. Is that the case? If so, why is it expecting POST requests?
