Re: jesred GET requirement

I still do not understand this requrement. squid can handle posts, can't it?

jesreds job is to rewrite the url, why should it care about the request method?

As a matter of fact, this simple change to rewrite.c in jesred makes it
recognize
post.

Can somebody please explain to me why is there a compelling reason to require
GET method?
Thank you.
