Question Two
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using HTTP POST for web
service calls?
Answer:-
In the POST process, the information is directing to the server as a set in a
separate statement with the dispensation script. Data directed over the POST technique
will not be observable in the URL. The authentic function executed by the POST
technique is applied by the server and is generally reliant on the Request-URI. The
posted object is subsidiary to that URI in a similar method that a file is a subsidiary to
a directory comprising it (Chen et al. 2016). A news article is a subsidiary to a
newsgroup to which it is sending, or data is secondary to a database.
Advantages:-
 It is more protected than GET because user-entered evidence is not ever
observable in the link query sequence or the server records.
 There is a much more significant perimeter on the number of documents that
can be accepted. Someone can send typescript evidence as well as binary
information using POST.
