另一个区别是POST通常需要两个HTTP操作，而GET只需要一个。

编辑:我应该澄清一下——对于常见的编程模式。一般来说，用一个直接的HTML网页来回复一个POST是一个有问题的设计，原因有很多，其中之一就是在按下后退按钮时出现烦人的“您必须重新提交这个表单，您希望这样做吗?”

POST可以移动大数据，而GET不能。

但一般来说，这不是关于GET的缺点，而是一种惯例，如果你想让你的网站/web应用程序表现良好。

看看http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html

从w3schools.com:

What is HTTP? The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is designed to enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP works as a request-response protocol between a client and server. A web browser may be the client, and an application on a computer that hosts a web site may be the server. Example: A client (browser) submits an HTTP request to the server; then the server returns a response to the client. The response contains status information about the request and may also contain the requested content. Two HTTP Request Methods: GET and POST Two commonly used methods for a request-response between a client and server are: GET and POST. GET – Requests data from a specified resource POST – Submits data to be processed to a specified resource

在这里我们区分主要的区别:

来自RFC 2616:

9.3获得 GET方法意味着检索任何信息(形式为 实体)由 要求通用。如果Request-URI引用 对于数据生成过程，它是 应返回的已生成数据 作为响应中的实体而不是 进程的源文本，除非 这个文本恰好是的输出 这个过程。

9.5 POST The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line. POST is designed to allow a uniform method to cover the following functions: Annotation of existing resources; Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list, or similar group of articles; Providing a block of data, such as the result of submitting a form, to a data-handling process; Extending a database through an append operation. The actual function performed by the POST method is determined by the server and is usually dependent on the Request-URI. The posted entity is subordinate to that URI in the same way that a file is subordinate to a directory containing it, a news article is subordinate to a newsgroup to which it is posted, or a record is subordinate to a database. The action performed by the POST method might not result in a resource that can be identified by a URI. In this case, either 200 (OK) or 204 (No Content) is the appropriate response status, depending on whether or not the response includes an entity that describes the result.

当我不希望人们看到QueryString或当QueryString变大时，我使用POST。另外，文件上传需要POST。

不过，我不认为使用GET有问题，我将它用于简单的事情，其中将内容保留在QueryString上是有意义的。

使用GET将允许链接到POST无法工作的特定页面。

我不认为使用get有什么问题，我用它来做一些简单的事情，在查询字符串上保留东西是有意义的。

使用它来更新状态-像delete.php的GET ?Id =5删除一个页面是非常危险的。人们发现，当谷歌的网络加速器开始在页面上预取url时，它会击中所有的“删除”链接，并清除人们的数据。同样的事情也会发生在搜索引擎蜘蛛身上。
