I hadn't so I did a little bit of digging through the Tomcat 6.0.14 
source over the evening. It gets more interesting as the code at 
org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.parseParameters(Request.java:2426)
is shown below.

if (!getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("POST"))
	return;

for completeness...

     /**
      * Return the HTTP request method used in this Request.
      */
     public String getMethod() {
         return coyoteRequest.method().toString();
     }

... Coyote.Request

     public MessageBytes method() {
         return methodMB; <-- This value is initialised in the class 
declaration.
     }

     public MessageBytes requestURI() {
         return uriMB;<-- This value is initialised in the class 
declaration.
     }

     public String toString() {
         return "R( " + requestURI().toString() + ")";
     }

Unless I'm being a bit thick, it doesn't explain why the getMethod() 
appears to sometimes return null.

The Java version being used is java version "1.6.0_05" server

One for the tomcat mailing list I think.
