Can You Perform a POST Operation Using a GET Request?🧐

Back when I was attending my 2nd year at A2SV, I was minding my own business when I overheard one of our mentors and his colleague talking about system design. His colleague had an upcoming system design interview and was preparing for it. Our mentor had already secured a full-time position at Bloomberg, so he was sharing some advice and helping him prepare.
Then I heard something that caught my attention.(Fast forward, they are both in Bloomberg now)
His friend asked:

“It’s possible to do a POST request using a GET request, right?”

I was like, wait what?😳 That question stuck with me.

How is that possible? And more importantly, why shouldn’t we do it?
That curiosity eventually led me to dig deeper into how HTTP actually works.

💻The Mechanics: How GET Can Act Like POST

At the wire level, an HTTP request is just a text block sent over a network socket. The server receives the text, reads the verb at the beginning, and decides how to parse the incoming data.

app.get("/create-user", (req, res) => { 
const { name, email } = req.query; 
// Insert into database

 createUser(name, email); res.json({ message: "User created" });
});

Now a client sends:

GET /create-user?name=Alex&email=alex@example.com HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com

The backend reads the query parameters:

req.query.name
req.query.email

and inserts them into the database.
So even though the HTTP request is:

GET /create-user

the operation performed by the application is a create operation.

Data via Query Parameters: A GET request can attach payloads directly into the URL query string. If a backend handler reads req.query and inserts those values into a database, a GET request has effectively performed a create operation (POST).

Payloads in GET Bodies: While unorthodox, the HTTP specification does not strictly forbid a body inside a GET request. If a server framework parses the body of a GET request and executes a data-altering query, it creates or updates records identical to a POST or PUT request.

🙅‍♀️Why You Should Avoid Using GET for POST Operations
While technically feasible, bending HTTP semantics creates severe architectural and security risks:

1️⃣URL Logging and Leakage: Query parameters are logged in plaintext across browser history, web server access logs, load balancers, and CDN networks. Passing sensitive creation payloads (passwords, PII, tokens) inside a GET URL exposes data to third-party loggers.

2️⃣Aggressive Caching: CDNs and browsers assume GET requests are idempotent and safe to cache. If a GET endpoint creates a database resource, edge servers might serve a cached response instead of hitting your backend, causing silent data failure.

3️⃣Pre-fetching and Crawlers: Search engine web crawlers and browser pre-fetching engines automatically follow GET links. If a GET request mutates state, a search crawler indexing your web app could unintentionally trigger database modifications or account deletions.

4️⃣Violation of Idempotency: According to RFC 9110, GET is defined as a safe method intended purely for retrieval without side effects. Breaking this contract leads to unpredictable behavior in distributed microservices and API gateways.

sooo after contemplating for more than a week am finally dropping this project... and hopefully get back to leetcode and codeforces

A2SV AlgoPath is a structured DSA & Competitive Programming roadmap that organizes the exact learning methodology and curated problem sets from A2SV into a clear, 43-week progressive journey.

feel free to dm me if you have any feedback :))

@aydus_journal

everyone told you to learn about system design and so on and you thought it's complex thing so here is one of the cooloest and easisest course you can take out there it is simple and easy to understand make sure to take the course while talking a note!!

"Be the BEST not the FIRST!"

Do you agree?

@veiledDev14

Overconfidence is quietly destroying US.

We’re told we can do anything, be anything, and that we deserve the best.

So we start confusing potential with achievement.

We talk big, procrastinate, avoid the hard work, and still believe we’re better than everyone else.

And the same mindset follows us into relationships.

We don’t apologize.
We don’t listen.
We don’t admit when we’re wrong.
We replace people instead of fixing things.

Not every person who leaves your life was toxic. Sometimes your ego made you impossible to deal with.

Real confidence isn’t thinking you’re better than everyone.

It’s knowing you have potential while being humble enough to learn, disciplined enough to work, and mature enough to say:

“I was wrong.”

Stop trying to prove you’re exceptional.

Do the work. Stay humble. Let the results speak.

“Every new level of success becomes the minimum level of acceptable performance moving forward. This is the curse of competence.

You're good at things, and you regularly do well, then success doesn't become cause for celebration. It's simply the minimum baseline entry that you're allowed to pursue.

Anything less than success would be failure and success itself becomes nothing more than acceptable.”
