title: API requires POST arguments in a query string?
body: <p>I'm playing with the Twitter API and noticed something funny- For updates, they require POST methods but expect the arguments in the query string. (See for example, the status/update call in their developer console <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/console">here</a>.) </p>
  
  <p>Obviously this is technically possible, but why would anyone do it like that? Don't POST arguments belong in the body?</p>
