On: Finally, voting without refresh

Google Web Accelerator won't follow the link, because it's got query parameters (a ? in the URL). See their help: http://webaccelerator.google.com/webmasterhelp.html#prefetch3

It's just as well, too -- GETs are used so often for this kind of stuff that any web acceleration tool which ignored this would break lots of sites.

GWA did use to follow all GETs, including those with parameters, and did cause all kinds of grief because of poorly written web sites, so they added the query parameter check to work around it.
