[hunchentoot-devel] Questions about using the same uri, but a different function for post and get methods.

[Lou Vanek]

You can still dispatch on request method but you have to write a few
lines of code.

Did you look at the /info test example that comes with HT? Look at the
7th line of the table produced by this test URL. All the information
is there that you need in order to perform a branch on request method.
