Description
Defines whether CPAINT arguments are passed to the backend via HTTP GET or HTTP POST.
Please note: For some reason unknown to the public the Opera browser does not support POST. There is nothing we can do about it, sorry. If the data you need to send from the frontend to the backend does not exceed a certain (browser-dependant) range, you are fine with using GET though.
