<p>Well I suspect it is just a consequence of the fact that it's a link, not a button, and GET is the natural (indeed only bar rails trickery) method available to a link.</p>
<p>I would also add that there are other places in the code that use <code>session.id</code> and which will have the same problem.</p>
