Im just curious, does the Weather app use GET or POST requests to get information from forecast.io?

Im working on this app and I was just curious? Which request this uses. I don't have a great understanding yet as you can tell :)

Since the app just retrieves data from forecast.io it uses GET requests. POST requests are great to send along data to the server, but in this case there is no nedd for that.

Thanks Enrique, so If I wanted to use a POST request in my weather app. Would doing something like sending my location to pull the current weather work?
