Request("controlname") can use for both GET and POST protocol??

[Matt]

If we use GET protocol, we can use either Request("controlname") or
Request.QueryString("controlname") to get the data entered by the user. But
if we use POST protocol, we MUST use Request("controlname"), and
Request.QueryString("controlname") won't work. I think
Request("controlname") means Request.Form("controlname"), which is used for
POST protocol. But seems like it works for GET protocol too.

Here's the code I tested.

<%
If (Request("submitgetbtn") = "GET Submit") Then
Response.Write(Request("fname"))
End If

If (Request.QueryString("submitpostbtn") = "POST Submit") Then
Response.Write(Request("lname"))
End If

%>
<form action="getposttest.asp" method="get">
<input type="text" name="fname">
<input type="submit" name="submitgetbtn" value="GET Submit">
</form>

<form action="getposttest.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="lname">
<input type="submit" name="submitpostbtn" value="POST Submit">
</form>

Please advise! Thanks!

Do NOT ever use Request("controlname").
