GET - typically used when you access a page via a link (ie you cut and paste into the web browser) - all the values (ie form arguments) get passed in the url itself ( delimited by the ampersand character) - example: when the following link is copied and pasted to the web browser, a GET request is generated and the values for distance,N,Make , state and so forth are passed in the url itself. http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/MITSUBISHI/LANCER/private-results.aspx?distance=25&N=4294964597+0+4294966896+4294803479&Make=MITSUBISHI&state_id=0&Model=LANCER&State=All%20States
POST - can only be generated by a form's submit action/button - all the values (ie form arguments) get passed in the "params" hence in rails, you access the values via "params" - example: in search forms or registration forms, clicking the submit button generates a POST request to the web server Gordon Yeong On Aug 2, 3:01 pm, Musdev Musdev <[email protected]> wrote: > HEY Guys, > > Im new to rails.
