You fundamentally misunderstand the HTTP-protocol. The browser ALWAYS initiates the communication. It will always send and then retrieve. The operations are above that. And can be roughly qualified like this: - GET if you query information, not changing it (server side!) - POST if you change server side information And thus GET should be the default - or does each request of yours change your model?
