If you are sending a request through url from browser like consuming webservice  without using html pages by default it will be GET because GET has needs no body  if you want to make url as POST you need html jsp pages and you have to mention in form tag as  method post  beacause post will have body and data will be transferred in that body for security reasons  So you need a medium  like html page  to make a POST request  You cannot make an URL as POST manually unless you specify it as POST through some medium  For example in URL  http   example com details name john amp phonenumber 445566 you have attached data name  phone number  so server will identify it as a GET data because server is receiving data is through URL but not inside a request body

Based on what you provided  it is pretty simple for what you need to do and you even have a number of ways to go about doing it  You ll need something that ll let you post a body with your request  Almost any programming language can do this as well as command line tools like cURL   One you have your tool decided  you ll need to create your JSON body and submit it to the server   An example using cURL would be  all in one line  minus the   at the end of the first line    curl -v -H  Content-Type  application json  -X POST        -d    name   your name   phonenumber   111-111    http   www abc com details   The above command will create a request that should look like the following   POST  details HTTP 1 1 Host  www abc com Content-Type  application json Content-Length  44    name   your name   phonenumber   111-111

In Java you can use GET which shows requested data on URL But POST method cannot   because POST has body but GET donot have body

It is not possible to send POST parameters in the url in a starightforward manner  POST request in itself means sending information in the body  I found a fairly simple way to do this  Use Postman by Google  which allows you to specify the content-type a header field  as application json and then provide name-value pairs as parameters  You can find clear directions at  2020-09-04  broken link - see comment  http   docs brightcove com en video-cloud player-management guides postman html Just use your url in the place of theirs  Hope it helps
