Goal

To show how to use the POST method with UTL_HTTP.REQUEST function.

The difference between the GET and POST method is difficult to explain.We can say that the "GET" method is used when there are no visible side-effects on the data. In other words it is just used for retrieving the data.If there are any side-effects on the data like storing or updating, then the method "POST" must be used.
