POST requests are currently not supported, only GET.

so, they were supported for years, and now they're not?

Re: 500 Command syntax error: incorrect number of arguments on all queries

according to the doc:

---quote---
Commands may be submitted to servers in CGI mode using either the "GET" or
"POST" HTTP commands. Both methods are supported, and there is no real
difference between how both are to be used other than the syntactical
difference between the two methods. The "POST" method may provide the ability
to issue longer commands, though, depending on the architecture of the system
on which the server resides.

this USED to work fine.  why did it stop working?

Yes, it used to work, but if it doesn't work anymore, it means there is a bug. Please report it at http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/ so that it's fixed at some point.
