that's what we are trying and discussing about: if the get(post)_vars should depend on GET and POST request method or if they are aliases for "parsed_query_string" (get_vars) and "parsed_body_string" (post_vars).
The fact is, in the 90% of the cases they practically overlap. Most of the users are using request.vars unconditionally, so less and less code will eventually brake. But we need to make a decision and live with the consequences ^_^ (I'm hearing right now the next blogpost saying "web2py's shitty naming convention for variables...")
