When a client sends a request to the server, the clients can also additional information with the URL to describe what exactly is required as output from the server by using the GET method. The additional sequence of characters that are appended to URL is called a query string. However, the length of the query string is limited to 240 characters. Moreover, the query string is visible on the browser and can therefore be a security risk.to overcome these disadvantages, the POST method can be used. The POST method sends the data as packets through a separate socket connection. The complete transaction is invisible because to the client. The disadvantageof POST method is that it is slower compared to the GET method because data is sent to the server asseparate packets
