GET
The HTTP GET
method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET
should only be used to request data (they shouldn't include data).
Note: Sending body/payload in a GET
request may cause some existing implementations to reject the request — while not prohibited by the specification, the semantics are undefined. It is better to just avoid sending payloads in GET
requests.
