For some reason (that I cannot remember at the moment) a POST request
will not obey the confirm-requests config file option.
Even if I did make it obey this option then you would never be able to
confirm a POST request because it is not possible to request the same
URL again.
I think that setting dont-request is clearer about the meaning of the
option that confirm-requests (you want to block them, not confirm
them). I have to try and work out why the code is the way that it is
(and fix it).
