Sorry but this just isn't right. You are sending that same amount of data
whether it is all on one line or split over headers/body

This in particular is nonsense!
Read the RFC (2161 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt?number=2616) for the
details. GET processing is non-idempotent, POST processing must be
idempotent!
