One big difference is that if you can accomplish the same injection
attack via GET or POST, then POST would be prefered (or not preferred,
depending on what side you are taking here, heh). The chances of the
POSTed data being logged is low, and that would lower the chances of
detecting the attack. Also, any URL based checks (ala rewrite, etc)
may be avoided with a POST.
