HTTP is not a 1932T model - it's more like a wheel. You have to take 
this on faith at first or have the luxury of a certain Paul Prescod 
flaming you in public for saying something stupid like, "GET is just a 
browser hack for bookmarking a form POST" [1]) but eventually you 
listen and then you dig in and then you say, "Oh! This protocol is 
amazing!"
