Re: When GET = POST?

> I'm going to buck the trend here, and say that from the point of view

    I am glad someone else feels the way I do about this issue. In the case of a web application, it's not important to the script which method was used to submit the data as long as proper validation and sanitization is performed. All that you really need to know is that the data originated from an untrusted source and should be checked accordingly. I could see where explicitly checking for POST could lull someone into a false sense of security. Logging aside, POSTed data is no safer than data sent via GET, so there is no point in checking to see which method was used to submit the data.
