Using page to get form data broken in 2.7

Description

Up to the 2.6.5, the following works :

  • Use a page permalink as action for a form (eg. embedded into the sidebar or in another page)
  • $_POST catches form data without problem
  • In order to do so, you have to create a page template for your theme with the correct PHP code to get the data

The same procedure doesn't work anymore in the 2.7 (and the 2.7.1).

  • $_POST is always empty

This feature is very handy to create simple forms (eg. contact form) respecting Wordpress native mechanisms.

  • Status changed from assigned to closed

99.99999% certain this is due to a redirect being enforced due to an inconsistent user_trailingslashit() pref.
