Per HTTP all request methods are defined in exact case ('GET', 'POST',
'PUT', 'DELETE', ...). No browser will ever send it otherwise even if
you have '<form method="post">' in HTML. So in a view method 'Post' is
not HTTP's POST and should be treated as garbage.
Luckily Django's pattern of doing:
if request.POST:
#post
else:
#get
is safe since every unknown method will end up in 'GET' part which
supposed to be idempotent anyway. And for better safety a user can list
exact methods with @require_http_methods decorator (which is somewhat
broken currently, I keep forgetting to file a ticket, will do now).
