Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could refer me to a good website that details what exactly makes up the GET and POST methods of a HttpRequest/Response class?
Basically, I am trying to figure out how do you POST data to a website. Many examples seem to be using the URL bar for POSTing, like submitting a search to Google for example is something like "Searchstringhere"&button=click if I'm not mistaken. But if I'm not wrong the POST method just sends a string out to google like this ("http://www.google.com/"SearchStringHere"*button=click"). None of this makes sense to me as I thought everything travels as a packet. What if you were trying to enter text into a message board? You wouldn't put the whole message board text string into a POST string, would you? Even if that was the case, how would you go about posting it? I thought (almost every) website was javascripted, does a POST method handle that?
Basically I don't see the whole picture of whats going on, and not even MSDN is sheding any light on how HttpRequest/HttpResponse actually sends out data with a POST method. If anyone can reference me to a website or a forum response that explains in detail just how C# can send and recieve information with HttpRequest and HttpResponse, it would be very helpful. Thank you!
