WEB SERVER

A web server is a computer system or software that stores, processes, and delivers web pages to users over the internet or an intranet. When you enter a website address in your browser, the browser sends a request to the web server, which then responds by sending back the requested web page or resource (such as HTML files, images, or videos). Popular web server software includes Apache, Nginx, and Microsoft IIS.

GET METHOD

The HTTP GET method requests data from a server without altering its state. It appends parameters to the URL, making it suitable for retrieving non-sensitive data. Commonly used for viewing content, GET is ideal for requests that don't involve data modification.

POST METHOD

The HTTP POST method sends data from the client to the server to create or update resources, storing data in the request body. It's suitable for secure data transfer, like images or documents, with security relying on encryption (HTTPS), authentication, and validation.
