Talk:Get Method

Fussy Nitpickerry

I believe this page should be called the "post" method. Even though the data's encoded in the URL, the data changes the state of the world, and the page source itself uses "post".

And thus concludes today's pedantry. --Toejam 19:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I actually noticed that myself when looking at some HTML from UD in order to dig out the stores info from the mall. I decided to just change the title to Actions via "question marks" because it that title will probably make sense to more people, and because I'm not knowledgeable enough to really explain what "Post" is, just how it affects players doing this stuff.

Truth told, its not pedantic at all; if you are building custom UD interfaces (which I am, via javascript form manipulation) the diffrence is pretty major. The ? stuff is really easy to "hack", the other stuff is a good bit tougher (and so far eludes me). --S.Wiers ^X:00_{x-mas tree dead pool} 19:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
