I'm not really happy about re-implementing basic Features of HTML via JS,
just cause of a limited processing (and thats what this return if... is)

And as you know, Each method could be faked and just limiting on POST is just like
putting a sign in front of fort knox sayin "There is no gold, bye".

Sure, if there is a better solution to only on GET and POST methods it would be great to implement

its for accessing GET-Params ;) which wont work otherwise,
I used this for the section-switcher in the updxlrtr. 

Kind regards,

Hey,

I think the original intention to filter for POST requests is to prevent
cross-site scripting issues. However, it is not a huge problem to create
a POST request with JS.

I am still not convinced that we should remove this line. It makes XSS
attacks more easy and therefore more dangerous.

For what exactly is this modification required?
