[Catalyst] How to detect if the current form request is a post?

[kakimoto at tpg.com.au]

Read my response. I said 

1) POST is the prefered method
2) using GET for a content sensitive site like an online banking site is
bad. I m sure you would not want to have people book marking your
session ID , or worst, the user credentials used to login and access
certain pages which are private to the authorised user.

For things like ebay which will have the ID of a given item, it's
alright to use GET but the problem is that you have to watch the number
of characters you have in the url request.
