URL Tomfoolery

on Jan 25, 2003 at 08:01 UTC ( [id://229809]=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Okay, I'm getting pretty close to Friar status, so I stopped by my home node today to find out which of my recent posts had earned me a couple of points, and low and behold, I find this in the URL (no kidding):

http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=6364&user=Acolyte&length=50&orderby=hr&start=0&sexisgood=Search

I rolled! Who says the gods don't have a sense of humor? I would like to know which one added that bit of fun in. Does anyone have any guesses?

    That one's been in the code for a long time. I blame nate.

      No, the new tradition is: I blame ar0n. And I do. He changed some form from POST to GET so sexisgood now shows in the address bar. I like GET for very simple forms exactly because the URL shows in the address bar (and you can reload, and...). I think that this particular side-effect was unintended.

      Now even a simple search for "sexisgood" will find something moderately informative (this node).
