Hi Chris,

Thanks. Your HTTP spec references are interesting. I think I'll stick
to POST for actions. I've always felt a little icky about using the
Location header but I'll try it out and see how it goes.

One special case is the search box which uses POST so I'll have to use
some JavaScript to make that use GET.

Thanks,
Mike
