Postback is a term used often in ASP.NET when a WebForm POSTs the single form back to the server and invokes some event in the code behind (like a click on a button for example). You could still use normal GET requests though to redirect to a given web page. For example you could use an anchor:
When the user clicks on the anchor there is no postback occuring but a GET request to the target web page.
Another possibility is the user typing directly the address of the web page in his browser address bar.
Yet another possibility is to use javascript to perform an AJAX request which allows to invoke a web page without redirecting away from the current page. You could use any HTTP verb with AJAX.
