Although we have been reluctant to perform this change, a specific
use case can cause customers to be redirect to the Odoo DPN url
with a GET request.

This happens when a Paypal Merchant account has the feature Guest
Checkout active; in that case, a customer can pay without having
a Paypal account (using only his credit card) and will *not* be
subjected to auto-return; as detailed here:

Request coming from that payment flow will always trigger a GET
request, causing the customer to be welcomed by a
405 - Method Not allowed
error on the Odoo server. The payment is normally correctly processed
through IPN, so this does not normally causes loss of data; however
this is not a nice way to welcome back your customer right after
they pay you.
