Hi all,

This might open up a security hole - I'm not sure.  Anyone please
comment if you have information one way or the other.

This sounds like a duplicate of SHIRO-22 [1]  Peter, Could you please confirm?

The reason SHIRO-22 is not yet implemented is because I don't think we
came to a consensus on its implications.  That is, is this a smart
thing to do?  It sounds like it could be a potential security risk to
me - what if the post represents a credit card submission?

Would a potentially better solution be to translate a saved POST
request to newly constructed GET request that has all the request
parameters set?  This way a form could be shown again pre-populated so
the user can choose to submit themselves?

Thoughts?
