    Though the RFC says we are is supposed to
catch "get" and "post" simultaneously, it is
probably not a good habit to trust this. Add
a hidden variable and your problem should be
fixed.


<form
    name="registrationForm"
    method="post"
    action="/cgi-bin/registration.cgi">

    ..... some stuff

    <input type="submit" value="Register" name="submitButton" />
    <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="registerUser" />
</form>
