doPost() method is used for posting information.
2.doGet() requests can't send large amount of information
and is limited to 24-255 characters.How ever doPost()
requests passes all of it's data ,of unlimited length.
3. A doGet() request is appended to the request URL in a
query string and this allows the exchange is visible to the
client,where as a doPost() request passes directly over the
socket connection as part of its HTTP Request body and the
exchange are invisible to the client.

1. In doGet() u submit the request by appending the URL
while in doPost() request is submitted via form.

2.Since doGet() appends the link it is not safe for request
containing passwords etc. while doPost() uses form hens it
is safe.

3.You can send only limited data in doGet() while unlimited
data in doPost() .

4.doGet() request could used like a bookmark as it uses URL
but doPost() can't be used as bookmark.

because when the user or client submit the form the
associated user name or password has been display on the
addressbar.

but in case of doPost() method when the user submit the
form the associated user name or password are not display
on the addressbar.

Answer / shivani

doGet is used when there is are requirement of sending data appended to a query string in the URL. The doGet models the GET method of Http and it is used to retrieve the info on the client from some server as a request to it. The doGet cannot be used to send too much info appended as a query stream. GET puts the form values into the URL string. GET is limited to about 256 characters (usually a browser limitation) and creates really ugly URLs.

doPost allows you to have extremely dense forms and pass that to the server without clutter or limitation in size. e.g. you obviously can't send a file from the client to the server via doGet. doPost has no limit on the amount of data you can send and because the data does not show up on the URL you can send passwords. But this does not mean that POST is truly secure. It is more secure in comparison to doGet method.
