Post or Get

Which is the criteria to choose if a form must go by Post or Get?
W3c gives us a list to decide. We are going to use that list as it bases, and to try to extend it a bit

GET

* W3C: The interaction is more like a question (?)
* It is a data that is used as guide for the presentation
* It is wanted to be able to offer the possibility of copying and pasting to keep it, enter it in a page, to pass it to it to another person


POST

* W3C: The interaction is more like an order
* W3C: The interaction changes the state of the resource in a way that the user would perceive
* W3C: The user be held accountable for the results of the interaction
* Rebound second of the W3C like very important: to try to maintain the processings of forms like Post
* It handles “sensible” data like passwords
* The information is much (the amount of characters of URI can be limited pro the servant)


BOTH

* When data are processed, it is moral convention to make Post/Redirect/Get
