So it's an apache issue, eh? Yes, the request_method is set to "GET"
when my code receives control, something else (redirect_method or
somesuch) is set to POST.

At least that makes some sense, thanks; maybe I can fish around and
dig it up knowing who last had it. Any idea whether apache kept the
data that came as a result of the POST action, or did it just throw it
on the floor?

Answered in aww. Thanks for the "look at apache data" clue, I'll
check it out.
