no, you cant. if the server requires any headers such as Authorization or Cookie, this method will fail.
- johngalt_ 3y agoThey are obviously talking about public urls.
- foolfoolz 3y agoit’s extremely to share urls needing auth with people who have the same access levels as you, such as in your company
- ivan_gammel 3y agoTypical scenario is to redirect to login and after successful authentication return back to the requested URL, so the method doesn’t fail if server is implemented correctly.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoIt’s not a “no you can’t” just because you know of some exceptions. And even then, they are still correct while you are not. You can copy the GET url even if it ultimately it requires authentication in a way that you can’t do it all for a POST request.
