[PATCH] Add option to disable POST data processing

They can not configure php too or the webserver allows
this for virtuals hosts (IIS afaik does) but on
shared hosting this had to be done from the admin

I agree that php is the wrong place

If any compnent have to say "405 Method Not Allowed"
it is the webserver long before starting the interpreter

Hi Pierre:

However I would
prefer to bring back a proposal we had a couple of years ago, to
totally disable post data.

Completely disabling POST is something that is probably best done
via web server configurations. Doing this at the
applicaiton/programming layer seems like a kludge.

Hi James:

What about people on shared hosting?

One option may be to put a <Limit POST> in an .htaccess file.

Oh, and keep in mind <Limit TOP_POSTING>.

Hi James:

My thought is that though this is best left to web server in the grand scheme of not making the world too ugly, seeing as people on shared hosts can't change many server settings (if any) but probably can use .htaccess, this would be giving them access to potentially useful feature which those on VPS/dedicated hosts don't need to worry about as we can play with server settings.

Oh, and keep in mind <Limit TOP_POSTING>.
Apologies, laziness getting the better of me :-)
