What comment are you referring to? What libcurl version are you using?

In current libcurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS set (to anything) implies a POST. Thus
if you set POSTFIELDS to NULL _after_ setting HTTPGET to 1, it still will end
up in a POST.

I don't see anything in the docs that says setting POSTFIELDS to NULL is a
good idea if you don't want to send a POST.

So, can you please tell us exactly how you suggest we alter/change the docs to
make the behavior better described?
