unusually formed POSTs aren't handled correctly

[harryh]

POST /path/to/page?foo=bar HTTP/1.1
Host: harryh.org
Content-Length: 0

req.param("foo") will return Empty instead of Full("bar")

This is defined behaviour in Lift. :-(

And query params are ignored during POST processing.

Does the HTTP or Servlet spec define the appropriate behaviour here?  If Lift is violating either, we'll change Lift.

Hrm. They are *not* ignored with the following request:

POST /index?foo=bar HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Will look into the spec.

Okay... I understand what's going on.  Please open a ticket on this.

Basically, we're parsing none of the query params unless the POST is form encoded.  I think the correct behaviour is to parse the query params if there's not Content-Type.
 

Will look into the spec.
