GET: is faster - but the Max size of your data is 128 bytes only.
- The browser sends information to the server in 1 transmission- data is
included in the header
- The Get passes the form values as command-line: ex
www.sa.com/servlet/myservlet?param1=xx&parm2=ccc
POST: is slower
- The browser sends information to the server in 2 transmissions- data is
included in the body (2nd transmission)
therefore the data ca be encrypted.
