# What are HttpPost and HttpGet ?

Both HTTP GET and HTTP POST use HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) as the underlying protocol. The GET and POST methods have been widely in Servlets, CGI, ASP, and many more. Both of these methods encode the request parameters as name value pairs in the HTTP request. The GET method creates a query string and appends it to the script’s URL on the server that handles the request. For the POST method the values are passed in the body of the HTTP request message.
