That's exactly what Tim said. However, I don't think POST is that much
of a problem. Problematic dots can only result from 'variable' pieces
of data being put in your query string, and with POST you'd typically
put the variable parts in the POST body. And even if you're not doing
that, moving something from the query string to the POST body should
be trivial.
Why do we actually have these extra unparseable
formats? If they're for
debug readability then we can probably just make them HTML-formatted, like
jsonfm/xmlfm/etc.
To be honest, I don't remember. I think they can die. I'll take a look
at the revision history tomorrow to check why they were introduced in
the first place.
