Difference between Post and Get methods

[pvenkata]

Hi all !

I got a small basic doubt on POST and GET methods of HTTP protocol.

As per i know, HTTP protocol prepares the REQUEST and RESPONSE Objects for offering any service between client and server.

What difference will be there in a Request object if the method is POST and when the method is GET ?

Thanks in advance,

Also POST is significantly larger in size than GET, yet limited to ~100 KB (although there are some work-arounds to get extra KBs)....
