Background

In the Web UI, when you rate a package it simply links to something like:

​http://ckan.net/package/rate/mke-liquor-licenses?rating=3

This creates a GET request.

This is bad because:

• Search engine crawlers follow links to find pages, and in this case end up creating a rating (although we've got a robots.txt to try and avoid this)
• There are occasions when we want to make a CKAN instance read-only, so we put a <LimitExcept? GET> Apache instruction in. But the database may still get written for these ratings.
• Best practise for web requests is for GET to be a read-only request.

Occasionally we seem to get revisions that are not connected to packages. These shouldn't appear, since all revisioned objects are linked to a package aren't they?

They appear on the 'Recently changed' list on the home page with an empty 'Packages' column.

On ckan.net there are plenty of packages (and indeed their tags) with the word 'statistic' in them, but no packages turn up when you search for it:

​http://ckan.net/package/search?q=statistic&search=Search+Packages+%C2%BB
