→"POST" approach
|
The post approach has a few advantages over get:
*The parameters are not shown in any query-string, so are not obvious to the person looking over your shoulder, nor do they appear in a history list of sites that the browser has visited.
*If you fill out a form online, the post approach will be used as the content needs to be kept secure.
**The get approach may be seen when you are navigating through a web site, and a selection is being remembered.
*A URL with query-string is restricted in total length (the restriction is dependent on a number of other factors, but might be at something like 1000 characters in total), so GET comes with a restriction on how many parameters can be specified; POST can handle much longer requests.▼
*The POST approach can handle very long requests and return a lot of information.
