Not so, Zope can use both GET and POST, and REQUEST works the same way
for both.

The Web Way is to submit information to the server (especially data that
might change the state of the server or its data) using POST, otherwise
to retrieve information with GET.  There is nothing to stop you from
using a POST for submitting length form data if you want to.

Sounds like there is some crucial bit of information you have not told
us.
