Do you really like having to confirm every action? For interfaces that you use all the time, it's nice to be able to eliminate extra steps.

If you're using it programatically (e.g., a script that's calling curl), it's absolutely no trouble to use POST.

If you're using it from a browser, you can write it with a confirmation page for simple browsers, but also use just a little javascript in normal browsers to convert the GET to a POST and skip the confirmation page.

  • Also, if you have a confirmation page on GET, then it must be submitting to a POST endpoint that you could still call directly.
