which means that a series of GET requests can modify a topic. thus invalidating (or worse) the cache, and, oh, the sky is falling.

(ok, so I hope we can get this done for 1.1.5

Actually, it does a POST and saves the changes. So no GET involved. Cancel does not appear to be implemented in the code (or documented).

The form appears to have two options (undocumented)

• action_save=Save Set when Save is pressed
• action_cancel=Cancel Set when Cancel is pressed.

Neither option is examined in the code.

For 1.1.5, will change code to implement action_cancel. This really should be redesigned to not post to saveSettings.
