ASP.NET MVC: is calling an action Post or Get?

When you simply type a web address such as:

http://localhost/MyController/MyAction

this calls the MyAction function inside the MyController class.

My question: is this request an HttpPost, an HttpGet, or neither?

Everytime you simple type in a url in the browser results in a GET request.

You can specifiy the accepted http method (verb) by using the several attributes.

It is a HTTP GET by default.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo(){

}

This would be HTTPPOST.

It is a GET request.

POST requires are usually when a form is submitted
