Patch to include POST query method when determining if the query string should be converted to CGI command line params
Attached patch updates CGIServlet so that POSTs will be included when
determining whether the query string should be converted to CGI command line
arguments. It also cleans up the logic a bit. This behavior mirrors the
behavior of the Apache httpd.

example: <form method="POST" action="test.exe?test1"><input type="hidden" value="test2"><input type="submit"></form> this code does invoke the test.exe without passing the test1 command line parameter the example works in apache httpd and ms iis fix: CGIServlet.java if (!"GET".equals(req.getMethod()) && !"POST".equals(req.getMethod()) && !"HEAD".equals(req.getMethod())) return;
