To be fair to the other poster, I wouldn't be surprised if 99.9% of requests were GET/POST/HEAD.

And 99.9% of requests are GET rather than POST, so shall we get rid of POST then?

[shawnz]

GET and POST already have widely observed distinctions in how they should be handled. For example, try hitting refresh on a page that was arrived at via a POST request. That behaviour is pretty much common to all browsers.

His point was that at minimum you still need a GET and POST for read and write. So comparing the numbers against bike-shed implementations is moot. Of course the number of reads will be significantly higher.

You could write and read using just POST. SOAP is the living example of that. So I think his point is inconsistent.
