 > What if you just used a POST request instead?

 Note we can't just send an arbitrary POST request: it would have to
 explicitly be a POST request without any post data because `wp-cron.php`
 short-circuits if `$_POST` is not empty:

 {{{
 if ( !empty($_POST) || defined('DOING_AJAX') || defined('DOING_CRON') )
         die();
 }}}
