I'm building a Resty interface and i'm trying to POST data from a web
page via a normal web form with method="POST" in it's form tag.

When i submit the data to my resource the variable
$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] reports "GET" and there is a
$_SERVER["REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD"] which reports "POST".

The resource pages are accessed using the apache 404 error page:

- The web page gets the request (http://myserver/path/to/my/resource)
- The url it's not found and the url string is parsed
- The resource /path/to/my/respurce is checked
- The resource data is returned

So, do i have to use the REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD server variables
instead of REQUEST_METHOD??

Is it a reliable variable?? (i.e all web servers produce this variable
when accessing a resource in this fashion)

thanks,
alex.
