Do they all make POST requests too?
This is the way you get into my JS Stats:

variables = 'example&'+Math.random();
req.open('POST','example?'+encodeURI(variables),true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-length", extras.length);
req.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
req.send(extras);

Double checking now to make sure they are actually making a POST request, but they are DEFINITELY processing / adding the variables to the GET portion...

EDITED: Changed example info slightly, because I use something slightly different than is posted here, but the only changes are to 'hard-coded text', nothing else ... Nearly every character above is an exact copy and paste of the code that has to be processed to get into the JS Stats.
