Hi Midhun,

Use GET if:

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

Use POST if:

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

Thanks everyone.

What exactly is an http client ? Is it someway related to the sender system or do we mention both the receiver and sender by the term http client ?
