No, it is in a different code path.

If REQUEST_METHOD=GET is defined but QUERY_STRING not, then you have the "No 
query information to decode. QUERY_STRING not set." message with Content-
Type=text/html header.

If REQUEST_METHOD=GET is not defined, then you have
    "This script can only be used to decode form results and 
    should be initiated as a CGI process via a httpd server.
    For other options please try using the --help switch."
and no HTTP header.

I just added the last line. If it causes more trouble than anything, I can 
remove it...
