Bug 21325: Prevent authentication when sending userid and password in querystring
This patch permits authentication via userid/password only when the
HTTP method is POST when using C4::Auth::checkauth().
The goal is to stop people from supplying userid and password in querystrings
in order to log into web pages.
Test plan:
0. Do not apply patch yet
1. Open a new browser (ie we don't want any existing CGISESSID cookies
available - opening a new tab/window isn't enough. It must be a
new instance or you can clear your cookies)
2. Go to http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/opac-reserve.pl?biblionumber=29&userid=koha&password=koha
3. Note the user has been logged in and is being asked to confirm hold.
4. Apply the patch
5. Go to http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/opac-reserve.pl?biblionumber=29&userid=koha&password=koha
6. Note the user is not logged in and the user is presented with a login screen
