When I read about request I always get the term post together, and this raises a question. I understand that request serves to make a request for something to the server and then the server sends a response after processing such a request, and reading about the post it seems that it does the same thing, and it is at this point that it raises the doubt, I can not understand the difference between them.
Question
I would like to know if there is a difference between Request and Post , if it exists, I would like to know the main differences between them and also the main purpose of > Post ?
