Not really. People describe it as useful to get past length limits.
Some web searches seem to indicate that the 2K URI length Limit in IE
can be a real problem for complex search forms. But I do not really plan to make
uuencoded camera raw images part of resource names. And there is a bug report
for it, so at least one jersey user cared about it at one time.

I created an issue with PostReplaceFilter changed back to the current behaviour,
