HTTP Request methods:
Two commonly used request methods are GET and POST.
GET:
GET is used to request data from a specified resource.Note that the query string (name/value pairs) is sent in the URL of a GET request:/test/demo_form.php?name1=value1&name2=value2
POST:
POST is used to send data to a server to create/update a resource.
The data sent to the server with POST is stored in the request body of the HTTP request:POST /test/demo_form.php HTTP/1.1Host: w3schools.comname1=value1&name2=value2
