.The HTTP specification mentions that you can POST to a CGI using a URL
with QUERY information attached to the end. This is a valid way to
request a service, and means that in traditional CGI processing you
would have to parse the QUERY string as well as the message CONTENT.
A Servlet engine may take this approach of still separating the
information.
(BTW - I'm using Apache JServ, and it see both during a POST)

You are saying you are doing a POST and passing parameters in the URL?
e.g. POST /servlet/projects?name=joe. If thats the case then your
Servlet Engine may not see that parameter. The engine only needs to see
the URL parameters in a GET and Form values in a POST...
