I don't think Andrew was suggesting throwing it away. If the form was POSTed then you could still get at the query string using request.get_environ('QUERY_STRING'). I think what Andrew is suggesting is that if the method is POST then only the body of the request will be parsed. If then method is GET then only the query string is parsed. Neil
