Why is my $http.post() request appearing as a GET request in the browser console?

$http.post() method is actally sending a GET

Question:

Users have reported encountering a perplexing issue where $http.post() requests are being logged as GET requests in the browser console and on the server, despite being configured as POST requests.

Solution:

This behavior is attributed to a security precaution implemented in browsers. When a redirect is sent by the server to the browser in response to a POST request, the browser will not repeat the POST request but instead will execute a simple GET request.

This measure is intended to prevent malicious actors from exploiting redirect functionality to gain access to sensitive data that the user might have entered in the POST request.

To circumvent this issue, users should ensure that the handler's registered path is used for POST operations. Additionally, following the guidelines provided in the resources below may also prove helpful:
