[users@httpd] how does the apache cycle treat POST request

[Oteng Michael Raesima <mi...@gmail.com>]

hi

I would like to know how the POST request is treated by the Apache life
cycle. I think the cycle clearly demonstrates a GET request where by a
resource is located onn the web server or a redirection etc but i am not
lear how the POST or PUT is treated.

Thank you

To the core server, the only real difference between them is that POST
and PUT have a content body in the request, while GET does not. This
content body can be manipulated by input filters and read by handlers.
Other than that, the processing is quite similar.
