http request method == GET regardless of the form's setting?

[slashi]

My web form requires the POST method because of large amount of data. I have found that the POST doesn't work in CMSMS as one would expect.
There are two pages to demonstrate the issue.

The page test-post1 content is the form itself and the method is specified as POST:

Code: Select all

<form action="test-post2" method="post" name="my_test" id="my_test">
 <input id="t1" name="t1" type="text" /> 
 <input value="ok" name="t2" id="t2" type="submit" /> 
</form>

The page test-post2, which is the action for the form, displays the actual method of the http request, GET and POST arrays and the value from the :

Code: Select all

<p>thanks</p>

{php}
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] . "<br/>"; 
print_r($_POST); 
print_r($_GET); 
echo "<br/>t1=" . $_POST["t1"] . " (via post)";
echo "<br/>t1=" . $_GET["t1"] . " (via get)";
{/php}

The output from test-post2 is:

Code: Select all

thanks

GET
Array ( ) Array ( [page] => test-post2/ ) 
t1= (via post)
t1= (via get) 

It is expected that echoing $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] would result to POST but it is GET in the sample. The value of variable t1 in undefined. When I change the form's method to GET everything works.

What makes the change of the http request method? Is it the engine of CMSMS?
Thank you.
