Is either GET or POST more secure than the other?

Question

When comparing an HTTP GET to an HTTP POST, what are the differences from a security perspective? Is one of the choices inherently more secure than the other? If so, why?

Answer 1

You should also be aware that if your sites contains link to other external sites you dont control using GET will put that data in the refeerer header on the external sites when they press the links on your site. So transfering login data through GET methods is ALWAYS a big issue. Since that might expose login credentials for easy access by just checking the logs or looking in Google analytics (or similar).
