If I read right, you should be using POST across the board. Duck-tape
half-solutions like this one *will* come back around and blow up on you
when you're least ready for them.

(There are caching proxies that will cache GET as well. Not that they,
or that Microsoft's OS-component-they-try-to-pass-off-as-Web-browser,
should, mind you, but that's a whole different rant.)
