Question

I am wondering what the difference between Get and Post with asihttprequest library..

Is this a GET?

- (IBAction)sendHttpsRequest
{    
    //Set request address
    NSMutableString *databaseURL = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"https://142.198.16.35"];

    //call ASIHTTP delegates (Used to connect to database)
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:databaseURL];

    //This sets up all other request
    ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];

    [request setDelegate:self];
    [request startAsynchronous];
}

is a post when you try to set elements say within a php document? any examples would be awesome!

An HTTP GET is a request from the client to the server, asking for a resource.

An HTTP POST is an upload of data (form information, image data, whatever) from the client to the server.

What you have there is an HTTP POST.

-EDIT:

Per http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/:
ASIFormDataRequest

A subclass of ASIHTTPRequest that handles x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data posts. It makes POSTing data and files easy, but you do not need to add this to your project if you want to manage POST data yourself or don’t need to POST data at all.

My bad, this one was a POST, not a GET. The rest of my answer was valid, though 🙂
