Description Andrei Badea 2007-03-02 15:27:20 UTC 
When I click one of the categories in the tag cloud, wait for the page to load
and I press F5 (Refresh) in the browser, the browser warns that the page I'm
trying to refresh contains POSTDATA and asks if I want to resend the data. While
this is not harmful, it is not nice either. There is no need for a POST request
in this case. a GET request like:

http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/MainPage.jsp?Category=editing

would be just enough.
Comment 1 David Botterill 2007-03-05 04:07:04 UTC 
Since this web application is based on JSF, doing a "GET" is not part of the
implementation.  I'm marking this as an enhancement request.
Comment 2 Andrei Badea 2007-03-05 10:12:37 UTC 
I don't think there is anything in JSF forcing you to use POST where inappropriate.
Comment 3 David Botterill 2007-08-08 00:54:35 UTC 
Done.
