HTTP Methods POST AND GET "DATA"

Hi All

I have to send http request to a web-server for a mobile application, i am new to HTTP.

Can anybody explain HTTP POST and GET methods.....

While Sending the data through GET and POST method using C, is there any particular format defined in protocol for the "Data Packet"(buffer)?


Thanks in Advance

libcurl

You dont send data with "GET" only with "POST". It would look something like this:

"POST /somecgi.cgi HTTP/1.1\n"
"Host: www.thehost.com\n"
"Content-Length: 4\n" (4 is the length of "TEST")
"\n"
"TEST"

I don't think this is the right board for this question but here you go: http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/
This is a quick & nice tutorial.
If you need the complete specification, check the RFC (google http rfc).

There's info on this board. Been there, done that, posted here.
