Dear sr.,
clicking on the link can not produce POST request, only GET, unless
there are some special conditions, like crossite scripting
vulnerability in the router.

>> TN> Discovered: 18 November, 2006
>> TN> Disclosed: 15 June, 2009
>>
>> TN> I. DESCRIPTION
>>
>> TN> The Netgear DG632 router has a web interface which runs on port 80.
>> This
>> TN> allows an admin to login and administer the device's settings.
>> However,
>> TN> a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists that causes the web
>> interface
>> TN> to crash and stop responding to further requests.
>>
>> TN> II. DETAILS
>>
>> TN> Within the "/cgi-bin/" directory of the administrative web interface
>> exists
>> TN> a
>> TN> file called "firmwarecfg". This file is used for firmware upgrades. A
>> HTTP
>> TN> POST
>> TN> request for this file causes the web server to hang. The web server
>> will
>> TN> stop
>> TN> responding to requests and the administrative interface will become
>> TN> inaccessible
>> TN> until the router is physically restarted.
>>
>> TN> While the router will still continue to function at the network level,
>> i.e.
>> TN> it will
>> TN> still respond to ICMP echo requests and issue leases via DHCP, an
>> TN> administrator will
>> TN> no longer be able to interact with the administrative web interface.
>>
>> TN> This attack can be carried out internally within the network, or over
>> the
>> TN> Internet
>> TN> if the administrator has enabled the "Remote Management" feature on the
>> TN> router.
>>
>> TN> Affected Versions: Firmware V3.4.0_ap (others unknown)
>>
>> TN> III. VENDOR RESPONSE
>>
>> TN> 12 June, 2009 - Contacted vendor.
>> TN> 15 June, 2009 - Vendor responded. Stated the DG632 is an end of life
>> TN> product and is no
>> TN> longer supported in a production and development sense, as such, there
>> will
>> TN> be no further
>> TN> firmware releases to resolve this issue.
