HTTP Get and Post are methods to send information to the server. It is usually used while submitting a response or while submitting a form. HTTP Get uses the url to send the information across. The data that needs to be sent can be seen in the url field of the browser. HTTP Post uses the body of the HTML page to send the data, and thus the data cannot be seen in the url field. HTTP Post is a safer option to use because sensitive data(like passwords or credit card information) must be sent in a manner that is not openly visible to others, which is not true for HTTP Get
