1、HTTP 只有POST和GET 两种命令模式；
2、POST是被设计用来向上放东西的，而GET是被设计用来从服务器取东西的，GET也能够向服务器传送较少的数据，而Get之所以也能传送数据,只是用来设计告诉服务器,你到底需要什么样的数据.POST的信息作为HTTP 请求的内容，而GET是在HTTP 头部传输的；
3、POST与GET在HTTP 中传送的方式不同，GET的参数是在HTTP 的头部传送的，而Post的数据则是在HTTP 请求的内容里传送;
4、POST传输数据时，不需要在URL中显示出来，而GET方法要在URL中显示；
5、GET方法由于受到URL长度的限制,只能传递大约1024字节；POST传输的数据量大，可以达到2M，而根据微软方面的说法，微软对用 Request.Form() 可接收的最大数据有限制，IIS 4 中为 80 KB 字节，IIS 5 中为 100 KB 字节；
6、SOAP是依赖于HTTP POST模式实现的；
