    copied!<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_(HTTP)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">POST</a> is one of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HTTP</a> protocol methods; it is used when the client needs to send data to the server as part of the request, such as when uploading a file or submitting a completed form.</p> <p>In contrast to the GET request method where only a URL and headers are sent to the server, POST requests also include a message body. This allows for arbitrary length data of any type to be sent to the server. A header-field in the POST request usually indicates the message body's Internet media type.</p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_(HTTP)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia POST</a></li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia HTTP</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.5" rel="nofollow noreferrer">W3C RFC2616 HTTP/1.1 Spec</a></li> </ul> <h3>Related</h3> <p><a href="/questions/tagged/get" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;get&#39;" rel="tag">get</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/http" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;http&#39;" rel="tag">http</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/https" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;https&#39;" rel="tag">https</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/httprequest" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;httprequest&#39;" rel="tag">httprequest</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/submit" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;submit&#39;" rel="tag">submit</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/upload" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;upload&#39;" rel="tag">upload</a>, <a href="/questions/tagged/header" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;header&#39;" rel="tag">header</a></p>
