You won't be able to send variables in the URL when using POST, if you still
are doing that (which works fine with GET).

Subject: get vs post
I have a login jsp with a form that uses get. The action is handled by a
servlet. The servlet authenticates and forwards to my main html page. The
problem is that I want to switch to post so that the username and password
is not seen in the url but when I do this I get an error saying "HTTP method
POST is not supported by this URL". This is after the servlet has
authenticated so I think it is a problem with my requestDispatcher.forward.
Any suggestions?
Kent
