In computing, POST is a request method supported by HTTP used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. [1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
In contrast, the methods POST, CONNECT, and PATCH are not necessarily idempotent, and therefore sending an identical POST request multiple times may further modify the state of the server or have further effects, such as sending multiple emails. In some cases this is the desired effect, but in other cases it may occur accidentally.

[1] HTTP/1.1 requires servers to respond to pipelined requests correctly, with non-pipelined but valid responses even if server does not support HTTP pipelining.
The PATCH request needs to use mechanisms such as conditional requests using Etags and the If-Match request header to ensure that data is not corrupted while patching. [1] In case of a failure of a PATCH request or failure of the channel or a timeout, the client can use a GET request to check the state of the resource. [ 1 ]
