The Browser → sends HTTP request → to webservers

  • These HTTP requests have verbs. The HTTP verbs are GET POST PUT PATCH DELETE They describe the nature of the request.

GET vs POST

A GET Request is when your browser is asking for info. A POST Request is when your browser is giving you information. For example, I give you a post request form data, for example submitting a form, it takes in all the information you typed in and → sends it to the web server.
