I know for a fact that this part of the Java servlet spec (POST's and
GET's look exactly the same to servlet handler).  It gets confusing if the
POST request has parameters in the URL and the body which is legal.

Oddly the practice of encoding query parameters in the body of POST
requests is not part of HTTP spec, and as near as I can tell it started
with NCSA Mosaic and has been used ever since.
