** Summary changed:

- "?action=subscribe" should be a HTTP POST operation
+ Subscribing/unsubscribing on help.launchpad.net uses HTTP GET

** Description changed:

+ 1. Log in to help.launchpad.net, if you are not logged in already.
+ 1. Go to <http://tinyurl.com/2bul3o>.
+ 
+ What happens: You're subscribed to the Launchpad Help front page (or unsubscribed, if you were already subscribed).
+ What should happen: Nothing, because you didn't ask to be subscribed.
+ 
  Subscribe to page is a GET action. Which 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)
