Sorry... I think it might actually be a problem this end. There are
some additional parameters that can be added to the URL which means it
doesn't require a POST request. I'm not sure how, but the scanner
appears to be adding these. I can't see the parameters in a list email
anywhere, so I'm not sure where it's getting them from, but that's our
problem not yours. Sorry for the noise.
