POST is therefore suitable for requests which change the state each time they are performed, for example submitting a comment to a blog post or voting in an online poll. GET is defined to be nullipotent, with no side-effects, and idempotent operations have "no side effects on second or future requests".
Diagram of a double POST problem encountered in user agents. Diagram of the double POST problem above being solved by PRG. Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time.
The methods GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, and TRACE are defined as safe. In other words, safe methods are intended to be read-only. Safe methods can still have side effects not seen by the client, such as appending request information to a log file or charging an advertising account. In contrast, the methods POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, and PATCH are not ...
Of the major HTTP methods, GET, PUT, and DELETE should be implemented in an idempotent manner according to the standard, but POST doesn't need to be. [13] GET retrieves the state of a resource; PUT updates the state of a resource; and DELETE deletes a resource.
In HTTP, the GET (read), PUT (create and update), POST (create - if we don't have `id` or `uuid`), and DELETE (delete) methods are CRUD operations as they have storage management semantics, meaning that they let user agents directly manipulate the states of target resources. [4]
It, however, is only defined for the request header. Its meaning in a response header is not specified. [77] The behavior of Pragma: no-cache in a response is implementation specific. While some user agents do pay attention to this field in responses, [78] the HTTP/1.1 RFC specifically warns against relying on this behavior.
Upgrade to a faster, more secure version of a supported browser. It's free and it only takes a few moments:
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism to safely bypass the same-origin policy, that is, it allows a web page to access restricted resources from a server on a domain different than the domain that served the web page.
