Hi Kimmo

There's a limit on how many characters you can put in a GET request -
and with a reasonably full cart, along with all the customer's details I
can easily go over that. That's why it needs to be done by POST.

Looks like I'm going to have to put the javascript onload thing into
practice, with a "If this doesn't redirect you, click here" button to
submit the form for non-javascript clients.

Thanks anyway.
