Study Notes
HTTP Methods for Forms
- The GET method transmits form data as part of the URL, visible in the address bar.
- Suitable for sending small pieces of data.
- The PUT method transmits form data behind the scenes in HTTP request packets, invisible in the URL.
- Offers better security than the GET method.
- PUT data is still sent in plain text and can be intercepted using network sniffers.
- Secure data transmission requires HTTPS encryption.
