Yes, this is a good thought.

We have now added a new paramter AcctUrl, which is the URL that will be used 
for handling accounting requests. All the Radius attributes in the accounting 
request will be sent as HTTP tags using GET or POST, depending on the setting 
of UrlMethod.

The new version of AuthURL.pm is now available in the 3.6 patches area.
Feedback to me.
Cheers.
