Two HTTP Request Methods: GET and POST

GET – Requests data from a specified resource
POST – Submits data to be processed to a specified resource
In computing, POST is a request method supported by the HTTP protocol used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accept the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.

Note that the query string (name/value pairs) is sent in the HTTP message body of a POST request:
POST /test/demo_form.php HTTP/1.1
Host: w3schools.com
name1=value1&name2=value2
POST requests are never cached
POST requests do not remain in the browser history
POST requests cannot be bookmarked
POST requests have no restrictions on data length
