Challenge: POST Request

First, do some research about HTTP. Learn about the difference between GET requests and POST requests.

In the Movie Search Challenge, HTML forms are used to make a GET request to IMDb. The data from the form is used to search a database. In a POST request, the data from the form is used to update data in a database.

Textify
