POST is not the same as "GET with the parameters hidden." Read about the HTTP methods here: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html Basically, GET is for retrieval, and POST is for resource creation. If you're doing a retrieval, the method should be GET, not POST. There's a reason anchor tags (created by link_to) cannot do POST: because they are just supposed to link two documents together, not affect state. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
