Subject: Fetching many documents: multiple GETs or one POST?
From: Marcello Nuccio <marcello.nuccio@gmail.com>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

To build the page of a Web app (built with couchapp), I need to fetch
by key many SELDOM CHANGING documents.
I can get them all with a single POST request with the keys in the body.
Or I can get them one by one with a GET request for each document.
The GET requests are cached by the browser, the POST is not.

So, which one is best?
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
  Marcello
