GET encodes the query string in the URL, as in:

   /yourscript.php?abc=123&file=somefile.txt&action=dosomething

POST sends them as part of the query in the form of headers (basically
the difference being they aren't visible in the URL).

I tend to use GET because it doesn't result in that stupid "This page has
expired because it was created by a POST operation" error when people click
the "back" button in their browser.
