If an URL is matched in the [Alias] section, and it happens that you
want to do a POST to an URL like that, it is impossible. 

Here is what happens. This is a transcript of headers of HTTP requests
and reply's with irrelevant headers removed for clarity. Content of the 
POST is also ommited, its irrelevant. 

This was after visiting the URL
http://kwiki.ffii.org/index.cgi?action=edit&page_id=SandBoxEn
while having
http://wiki.ffii.org/* = http://kwiki.ffii.org
in the [Alias] section, and typing some characters in the textarea there 
and pressing SAVE. 


POST http://wiki.ffii.org/index.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: wiki.ffii.org
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 273


HTTP/1.1 302 WWWOFFLE Alias Redirect
Server: WWWOFFLE/2.8e
Location: http://kwiki.ffii.org/index.cgi?!POST:wVBa96MgM1w8CfKyHnmcbw.4241aad1
Content-type: text/html


GET http://kwiki.ffii.org/index.cgi?!POST:wVBa96MgM1w8CfKyHnmcbw.4241aad1 
HTTP/1.1
Host: kwiki.ffii.org


HTTP/1.1 404 WWWOFFLE Cant Refresh POST/PUT
Server: WWWOFFLE/2.8e
Content-type: text/html



Do any POSTs work for anyone while the address to POST to is matched by
a rule in [Alias] section?
