You're right, my fingers didn't cooperate this morning.

GET - variables in the form are passed via the URL. The GET method means
retrieve whatever information (in the form of an entity) is identified by
the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to a data-producing process, it
is the produced data which shall be returned as the entity in the response
and not the source text of the process, unless that text happens to be the
output of the process.

POST - variables in the form are passed via the HTTP request. The POST
method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity enclosed
in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by the
Request-URI in the Request-Line.

Technically?
