    Everything with ?a=b suggests a GET request to server, if you talk in the programming language. a here is the variable name and b is the variable value. To explain this simply, there are GET request's values that shows up in URL, and are generally insensitive information. Whereas sensitive information like passwords are sent over POST request, which are not visible in the URL.

    A GET request can just be a identifier to show the website to display its content according to your location/regional language, show some special information, etc. However, it will never send username/password because generally Username/Passwords is a kind of information that nobody wants to send over a GET request. Its usually sends it over a POST request.

      I wouldn't say "it will never send username/password" because it really depends on the individual that coded the site. Although it username/password should never be sent out in the open there are those sites that actually do this still. Just my 2 cents...
