minus-squareItsMyFirstDay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoI’m not 100% on this but I think GET requests are logged by default. POST requests, normally used for passwords, don’t get logged by default. BUT the Uri would get logged would get logged on both, so if the URI contained @username:Password then it’s likely all there in the logs
minus-squareSzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoGet and post requests are logged The difference is that the logged get requests will also include any query params GET /some/uri?user=Alpha&pass=bravo While a post request will have those same params sent as part of a form body request. Those aren’t logged and so it would look like this POST /some/uri
