Please please please do not make the API dependent on HTTP method verbs. This completely breaks JavaScript apps[1] and it's an arbitrary constraint that does not benefit anything except REST zealotry.

[1] For example, cross-domain JavaScript requests can only read GET responses.

I think there should be a way to disable GET for some commands, this seems to be a serious concern. That said, you'll always be able to access Webdis using GET; you present a common case that justifies the existence of such a feature.

I have started to implement Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, which should enable cross-domain JS requests using POST (If I understood correctly). An OPTIONS call is made by the client before the POST.
