They are not idempotent, e.g. if you delete a file twice you will get an error 
the second time, despite that there isn't really an error. All these things 
aren't used very often anyway, so I rather go safe. Matze suggested to do the 
same for GET's with a query but I am not yet convinced of that. Maybe only if 
they are the result of a FORM submit, is there something we can check to see 
if the request was the result of a submit? I guess we would need to add extra 
metadata for that.

Maybe we should add an option "I use a broken proxy-server (Junkbuster)" then, 
that way we can use persistent connections with the proxy servers that do 
work.
