Is there a way to know if the current page is a result of a get or
post?

and of course, no.

Depending on where you are looking at the 'current page' :-)

No.

At least, assuming you're discussing doing this from Javascript in a
web browser. For any POST you perform, the server could send a
redirect to a GET.

If you have control on the server-side, you could echo the request
type into a JS variable; in PHP it might be

var httpMethod = "<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; ?>"

Good luck,

See, there is a way :)

No there is not.

The new page can never know if the page request is
1 a result of a bona fide form-get
or
2 just from a link contaning an URL with querystring.

You can never know if the page request is from a
form-post just if it tests positive a querystring
as this could be contained in the form post action='...?a=b'.

I'm not sure that is a meaningful distinction. At the HTTP level,
both are GET requests, so even the server doesn't distinguish this.

No, they could also be POST requests at ther same time.

If you define a GET request als if without a querystring,
the whole OQ is meaningless.

The only interesting Q is if there is POST content
and if there is querytring content.

I read that as wanting to know the request method, and I would think
that a HTTP server cannot resolve a resource and send response headers
without knowing that.

I wonder what you read.
