gollark: Look, it says there, > By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it.
gollark: The urlencoded MIME type/format doesn't mean it's sent in the URL, just that it uses similar encoding to query strings.
gollark: POST data isn't in the URL though, it's sent as the body.
gollark: The reason they *do* is probably just consistency with other methods (it would be very annoying if they worked very differently to GET routing-wise) and so requests can be routed to the right handler more easily.
