I wanted to post this comment at Bill’s post Tunnel as deployed. But at the time of writing this, that page was giving me a 404 (I could only read about this post on the index page of his blog) and so, I am posting a quick reply here.
This is in reference to my previous post. If the only clientele for the server is HTML forms based clients, and if the only intent is to work-around the limitations of forms, then the Rails “hack” does not do any good other than introducing a bit of extra complexity into code.
But if the goal is support a vast majority of clients some of which can not support the right thing, then of course, it makes sense to support such “work-arounds”.
