Can't access $_POST or $_GET

[eluser]ChazUK[/eluser]
Hi,

I was looking at the user_guide and noticed that the $_GET data is destroyed. Does this mean that both $_POST and $_GET can only be accessed via $this->input->post() and $this->input->get().

Someone is sending me a POST request via a cURL script, but I don't seem to be getting any data through.

I've checked it with a normal PHP page and it seems fine, but doesn't work with CI.

Thanks,
Charlie
