GET and POST methods, what's the difference?

Question

The action is not clear for me. Do both send data ? first is unsecured and second is secured?

or is the first to Get data from server and post send it.

I was reading http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp

are the form methods different from HTTP methods?

thanks

Answer 1

GET is appended to the end of the URL it is indicated by a question mark.
an example:www.google.com/?q=hi%20mom

They both send data.

POST is best for submitting forms. It keeps things more private. Its ok to have things like a page number on the url, but its a huge security issue to have something like a password appended to it.

Answer 2

The form method and HTTP request are the same. Method determines what type of http request to send.
