Indeed,
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Update_Notification_Protocol
which Ariel and others found out to be the current version, says that 
this version "no longer uses http post requests", which would confirm 
your doubt: probably there are thousands of very old clients using the 
old protocol, but newer versions behave in a more sustainable way.
