The new page can never know if the page request is 1 a result of a bona fide form-get or 2 just from a link contaning an URL with querystring. You can never know if the page request is from a form-post just if it tests positive a querystring as this could be contained in the form post action='...?a=b'. -- Evertjan. The Netherlands.

I'm not sure that is a meaningful distinction. At the HTTP level, both are GET requests, so even the server doesn't distinguish this. -- Scott

If you define a GET request als if without a querystring, the whole OQ is meaningless. The only interesting Q is if there is POST content and if there is querytring content. -- Evertjan.

I read that as wanting to know the request method, and I would think that a HTTP server cannot resolve a resource and send response headers without knowing that. I wonder what you read. |
