A GET request does not contain any HTTP body data but, in case that it supplies some supplementary data attributes, in form of a query string, where are they stored in the GET request in Header or Body?
Are they stored as well in the header?

Example

...form?email=hi@world.com&comments=good%20site

    URI attributes are send WITH the GET request. If you request a page from a server the browser is sending a request to the webserver which looks like this:

    <open the connection to www.server.com>
GET /form HTTP/1.1
<server sends document>

    If you make a GET request containing data the string you already pointed out would simply be added to the URI

    <open the connection to www.server.com>
GET /form?email=hi@world.com@comments=good%20site HTTP/1.1
<server sends document>

    The downside of this is that with the default webserver logging turned on, all data the client sends would be written to the server logs since it is part of the REQUEST URI!

    For a reference, look here: Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1
