Not really, since REQUEST_METHOD can only be set to one of 'GET' or 'POST',
and cgi.rb takes its cue from that.

Even with REQEUT_METHOD set to POST, you can still get the query string via
cgi.query_string, or use '/' instead of the '?', in which case it shows up
as cgi.path_info:

	<form action="test.rbx/valueFromGet=here" method="post">

Either way, you have to parse the string yourself, though.  Identify
the name=value pairs, decode the '+'s and '%xx's into spaces and other
unprintable characters, etc.
