    There are several reasons why the only usefull answer is POST.
    Also POST was orignially the default method defined for SOAP calls.

    As you know a GET requests include all required data in the URL.
    The URL itself as “meta data” is visible in all systems between your
    client and server, especially when calling to the internt / cloud or via a
    proxy server this is not necessarily a wanted behavior since it disclose
    potenitally your data. This also prevents SSL to do it’s job to protect it.
    Last but nto least the URL is limited in it’s length and also has special
    requirements for the data encoding. This all makes the POST methods
    the better choice.
