Note
- GET HTTP REQUEST is the default method.
- When a form uses the GET HTTP REQUEST method, the server side program is also need to use the GET HTTP REQUEST to get the form data.
- If the server side program uses POST HTTP REQUEST, the program will not be able to get the form data.
- Form data passes through the URL for the server side program to process, and by passing information through the URL exposes information and it is a security risk.
- Use POST HTTP REQUEST when you want to send form data such as password to the server because it is considered more secure than the GET HTTP REQUEST method.
