Understanding GET versus POST Requests
The two main types of requests that you send to the web server are GET and POST. A GET request passes parameters as part of the URL, whereas a POST request passes them as part of the request data.
GET Request URL:
http://localhost/code/example1.html?first=Brad&last=Dayley
GET Request Data:
<empty>
POST Request URL:
http://localhost/code/example1.html
POST Request Data:
first=Brad last=Dayley
