GET parameters also tend to get recorded in the http logs of web proxies and web servers while POST parameters usually aren't. This was an annoyance in a web chat package I fooled with for a while. Because the package sent user messages by GET, if I ran the software the way the developers set it up, the contents of all the user conversations stayed in my server logs. I was unable to convince the chat package maintainers that this was a bug. I ended up doing some fairly kludgy hack to prevent the logging. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
