Post query ending up in $_GET?

[Ian Collins]

I'm not sure if I've overlooked a config option, but the following HTTP
POST request gives an empty $_POST array and $_GET['fred']=42...

HTTP POST /js/test/testRequest.php ?fred=42 HTTP/1.1

Pointers, clues?

Search google for info about the HTTP protocol. A POST request should look
something as follows:

POST /js/test/testRequest.php HTTP/1.1
Host: hostname.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: <length of the string 'fred=42'>

fred=42

I know what a post looks like, this is simply the output of a packet
sniffer.

Looking further at the packet I can see that the request is indeed
malformed.
