  • The foundation of HTTP and the web is verbs, eg GET and POST. GET is for retrieving data that remains unchanged, and POST is used to create or update (could use PUT for that, but native browser support isn't as good as POST) data. This is why a webmention should be using POST. I'm not sure what benefit you get from using a query string vs a form. HTML forms are pretty easy to build and send the correct data in the POST format.

  • It could also work with a form at the bottom of the post, with the `target` pre-populated as a hidden input. Several of us do that with a POST method form, but easy to switch it to GET!

  • also, if you *do* have a CMS or some existing automation, you can still send passive webmentions because the GET request is just as automation-friendly as a POST. So in practice there's no real downside that I can think of.

  • anyways, the advantage is that you don't have to mess with curl or any other low-level tooling, and you also don't need a CMS to handle sending the webmention, you can just click that link (or type it into your browser and leave a normal hyperlink in your page)

  • Webmention relies on HTTP POSTs which are non-trivial to automate without using a CMS. I decided to implement a GET handler on my webmention endpoint that uses the search parameters `s`, `t`, and `v` in place of the formdata fields `source`, `target` and `vouch`. If you were to link to, say, `example.com/page1` with a normal webmention, you would use a normal `href` to that URL and then send a POST. With passive webmention
