[FX.php List] GET vs. POST in a web app

[Bob Patin]

Well, I never was able to get 2 WPEs connected to my FMSA machine,  
but I gather that John May at Point in Space has a method of doing  
that using Terminal (John, please correct me if I'm wrong). Not being  
much of a command-line-savvy person, I didn't pursue it, especially  
since it was a need that I had only for migrating to the new machine.

I'll be adding another FMSA machine next month, and will get another  
web server to go with it when I do so; it would be nice to be able to  
connect any site with any FMSA box, but I'll just keep my FMSA boxes  
partnered with specific web servers.
