LightOpenID authentication using the POST method

Question

Is there an authentication method using the LightOpenID library using the POST method? To be precise, after authentication, Google (for example) returns to the specified URL, but all the data is sent to me using the GET method, which ends with an ugly and long URL.

My code is:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://someurl.com');

try {
    $openid = new LightOpenID();

    if (!isset($_GET['openid_mode'])) {
        // no openid mode was set, authenticate user
        $openid->identity = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id';
        $openid->realm = BASE_URL;
        $openid->required = array('contact/email');

        header('Location: '.$openid->authUrl());

    } else if ($_GET['openid_mode'] == 'cancel') {
        // user canceled login, redirect them
        header('Location: '.BASE_URL);

    } else {
        // authentication completed, perform license check
        if ($openid->validate()) {
            $openid->getAttributes();
        }
    }

} catch (ErrorException $e) {

}

So, after authentication, the OP returns to a URL that looks something like this:

http://someurl.com/index.php?openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0&openid.mode=id_res&openid.op_endpoint=https://www.googl...

And I want the OP back to:

http://someurl.com/index.php

and send all the data using POST, not GET.

I worked on the same. See code below. I think this should help.

<?php 
require 'lightopenid/openid.php';
try {
    $openid = new LightOpenID;                       
    if(!$openid->mode) {
        if(isset($_GET['login'])) {
            $openid->identity = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/site-xrds?hd=yourdomain.com';         
        $openid->required = array('namePerson/friendly', 'contact/email' , 'contact/country/home', 'namePerson/first', 'pref/language', 'namePerson/last'); 
            header('Location: ' . $openid->authUrl());    
        }
?>
<form action="?login" method="post">
    <button>Login with Google</button>
</form>
<?php
    } elseif($openid->mode == 'cancel') {
        echo 'User has canceled authentication !';
    } else {
        session_start();
        $fname = $openid->ret_fname();                        // setting session
        $lname = $openid->ret_lname();                        // setting session
        $email = $openid->ret_email();                        // setting session
        $_SESSION['admin']['name'] = $fname.' '.$lname;       // setting session
        $_SESSION['admin']['emailID'] = $email;               // setting session

        header('Location:approve.php');  // PUT YOUR PAGE/URL HERE.... I THINK THIS SHOULD DO THE TRICK !!! 
    }
} catch(ErrorException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
