Think this is a easy to fix regression – from the latest request method fixes
:-)

When using req.open("post",url,true) (with lowercase "post" instead of
uppercase "POST" the request method is sent as lowercase "post".

Of course there is no such thing as a lowercase http POST request and at least
PHP doesn't understand it.

Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.2) translates req.open("post",url,true) into a uppercase
POST.

I noticed this because Prototype and Scriptaculous sometimes calls open() with
lowercase "post".

I know you SHOULD use uppercase when calling open() but it seems not everyone
does it :-( and Prototype gets used by many people – so I think its a good idea
to translate post into POST

Note: haven't checked GET, PUT etc.
