Very good info.
The spec gods also state:
GET is for reliable repeatable tasks
POST is for one time, in some order type tasks.
So the examples given fit well there.

Hi
If u use dopost, the parameters as well as their values won't appear in the
URL. So, If u r doing any insert update , delete transactions then u can go
for this.
On the otherhand,if u use doGet,the parameters and their values would appear in
the URL. So, u can use in for retrieve , select statements. One more advantage
here is, users who access the page can bookmark that page and can directly
visit that page.
Hope our folks can add more .....to get clarified.
regards
wilson
