Well -that's- silly.  :)

The interactive one -was- a GET.  I tested it three times this week when I
was helping Richard.

I haven't seen a hard and fast specification.  If one can infer their
specification from looking at what comes back from performing an
interactive one, one could potentially call that a very rough specification
for what they're doing.  It's certainly more than one field where -I- got
at it.

I suppose it's hard to imagine they're checking the "I agree to the terms
and conditions" field if they don't even check auth on the private API, eh?
