In play framework, what causes bound form data to be hidden on a POST request?
for example if a form has fields Name and Age with values:
name: John
age: 20
What causes the post request to show
localhost:9000/adduser
vs
localhost:9000/adduser?name=John&age=20
Thanks
The cause of this is POST request itself.
This
is a GET request.
It’s good policy to keep actions that can modify data within POST requests and make server redirect to original page so that user won’t see “do you want to resubmit form” alert.
It’s also good style to keep actions that must be reproducible across machines within GET requests (such us search results so that one’s able to copy’n’paste link and send it by email).
