Name
POST Handler
Description
The POST request is sent to ask a web server to accept sensitive data contained within the request message, usually with the intent of storing the data. A common use of POST is uploading a file or submitting a completed web form. POST requests may also be used when request data would exceed 2,000 characters if constructed as a URL using the GET method. The example below shows the data sent to the server with POST as stored in the body of the request:
- POST /test/demo_form.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.apidapter.com - name1=value1&name2=value2
Some notes on POST requests:
- POST requests are never cached.
- POST requests do not remain in the browser history.
- POST requests cannot be bookmarked.
- POST requests have no restrictions on data length.
Fields

Errors
