Hello there, i have next js 14.0.4 website which works fine, but when another website links to my website like so

<form action="https://mywebsite.com/" target="top" method="POST"><input type="submit" class="button_big" style="min-width:150px;margin:5px 0px 0px 0px;" value="get price"></form>


On first load my website shows this error
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL
    at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:405:5)
    //stuff//
{
  input: 'null',
  code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL',
  page: '/'
}


if i refresh that page everything works as expected, i have no idea what's going on

So this happens because it sends POST request to the page which expects GET request, is there a way to somehow redirect it from POST to GET or serve page.tsx to this POST request? I have no control over the website that creates this broken POST redirect and they are not going to fix it to work properly
