Well, if the log file says it's using post, it's pretty certain it's
using post.  Maybe you're not looking at the right search form.

In any case, htdig 3.2.0b3 is pretty buggy, so I'd recommend getting
the latest update rpms from Red Hat or a local mirror site, i.e.

apache-1.3.22-1.7.1  (this depends on some module updates, see the errata)
htdig-3.2.0-1.b4.0.71
htdig-web-3.2.0-1.b4.0.71

Red Hat users should, as a rule, keep up to date on the latest errata
at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/

It helps if you subscribe to their redhat-watch mailing list, so you
get the advisories by e-mail when the updates come out.
