<p>I’m thinking here about things like the user confirmation link we send out to new users via email, and similar.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, these things might need checking (and at worst, we'll use the "manual connection switching" to a write connection, as described in the docs).</p>
<p>From a brief check of the <code>users_controller#confirm</code> and <code>#confirm_email</code> methods then both already require a form to be submitted (as should be the case, since email clients and spam filters can auto-crawl links in emails).</p>
<p>I can't off-hand think of other situations where we are currently GETing something that involves database changes, but I'll have a look and see what I can find. If you can think of any then let me know!</p>
