I used to think GET was for reading data, and POST was only for creating or updating data.
But POST can also return data in response.
The HTTP method describes how the client sends the request. What the server returns depends on the application's logic.
I spent a few minutes wondering why I could retrieve data with cURL but not get the same result in my browser.
Then i realized web server doesn't just process a URL. It processes the entire HTTP request.
That small realization made web applications click a bit more for me today
@emeraald As a pentester
You ought to know Python and Bash for automation and scripting
And then low-level programming language
Such as C++ and assembly language; you are able to communicate with the system itself at the bare metal
With this, you're invincible

I just realized something interesting while working on a lab.
I could get the flag with curl, but not directly from the browser.
Same URL. Different result.
This made me understand that servers don't just care about the URL.
They also care about how the request is made
