Bug Report.

Hi, I'm reporting a bug that was filed against my Moin instance ( http://help.launchpad.net ).

Our bug information is https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-documentation/+bug/194231

Summary:

Subscribing to page in Moin is a GET action. This means the user gets subscribed/unsubscribed even if he just views the page using the browser's back/forward or history.

It should be a POST action because it is a "resource-changing" action. (according to HTTP/REST spec)

Thanks,

Discussion

This bug report lacks of the bug report template of wanted information, e.g. which MM version.

In current moin versions we do have subscribe and unsubscribe as two different actions.

You can try twice subscribe to simulate the browser back button and you weren't unsubscribed using twice this action.
