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?”

1.3 HTTP GET / POST选择快速检查

在以下情况下使用GET:

    The interaction is more like a question (i.e., it is a safe operation such as a query, read operation, or lookup).

在以下情况下使用POST:

    The interaction is more like an order, or
    The interaction changes the state of the resource in a way that the user would perceive (e.g., a subscription to a service), or
    The user be held accountable for the results of the interaction.

源。

Gorgapor, mod_rewrite仍然经常使用GET。它只是允许将一个更友好的URL转换为一个带有GET查询字符串的URL。

短的版本

GET:通常用于已提交的搜索请求，或者任何您希望用户能够再次调出确切页面的请求。

GET的优点:

url可以安全地添加书签。 页面可以安全地重新加载。

GET的缺点:

变量作为名称-值对通过url传递。(安全风险) 可以传递的变量数量有限。(基于浏览器。例如，Internet Explorer被限制为2048个字符。)

POST:用于更高安全性的请求，其中数据可能用于更改数据库，或者您不希望别人添加书签的页面。

POST的优点:

url中不显示名称-值对。(安全+= 1) 可以通过POST传递无限数量的名称-值对。参考。

POST的缺点:

使用POST数据的页面不能被书签。(如果你愿意的话。)

直接来自超文本传输协议——HTTP/1.1:

9.3 GET The GET method means retrieve whatever information (in the form of an entity) is identified by the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be returned as the entity in the response and not the source text of the process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process. The semantics of the GET method change to a "conditional GET" if the request message includes an If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, If-Match, If-None-Match, or If-Range header field. A conditional GET method requests that the entity be transferred only under the circumstances described by the conditional header field(s). The conditional GET method is intended to reduce unnecessary network usage by allowing cached entities to be refreshed without requiring multiple requests or transferring data already held by the client. The semantics of the GET method change to a "partial GET" if the request message includes a Range header field. A partial GET requests that only part of the entity be transferred, as described in section 14.35. The partial GET method is intended to reduce unnecessary network usage by allowing partially-retrieved entities to be completed without transferring data already held by the client. The response to a GET request is cacheable if and only if it meets the requirements for HTTP caching described in section 13. See section 15.1.3 for security considerations when used for forms. 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.

最初的目的是GET用于获取数据，而POST用于任何用途。我使用的经验法则是，如果我要向服务器发送任何东西，我就使用POST。如果我只是调用一个URL来获取数据，我会使用get。

第一个重要的事情是GET和POST的含义:

GET应该用来…得到……一些来自服务器的信息， 而POST应该用来向服务器发送一些信息。

在那之后，有几件事可以注意:

使用GET，用户可以在浏览器中使用“后退”按钮，并且可以将页面添加为书签 你可以作为GET传递的参数的大小是有限制的(如果我没记错的话，某些版本的Internet Explorer是2KB);POST的限制更多，通常取决于服务器的配置。

无论如何，我不认为我们可以“生活”没有GET:想想你每天在查询字符串中使用多少带有参数的url——没有GET，所有这些都不能工作;-)
