get2post

A simple redirect service to convert GET requests to POST requests.

What is get2post?

get2post is an online utility that takes a URL with query parameters (normally used in GET requests) and redirects it to a POST request.

The main use case is using Chrome's site search functionality for websites that only support POST requests.

How to Use

Simply append your target URL after the hash (#) symbol of the URL https://joliss.github.io/get2post/redirect#, with any POST parameters included as GET parameters. For example:

This will result in a POST request to https://httpbin.org/post, with the foo and bar parameters turned into POST data.

Tip: An easy way to obtain GET URLs for any form is by clicking "Inspect" on any form element and changing the form's method attribute to "get" in the web inspector:

Or run this in the developer tools console to change all forms to GET:

document.querySelectorAll('form[method]').forEach(f=>f.method='get')

Privacy

get2post doesn't collect any data. Your requests and parameters are kept private because:

• All data is processed entirely in your browser.
• I don't log anything—analytics or otherwise.
• GitHub's servers (where this tool is hosted) can see your HTTP request, but not the URL you're redirecting to. That's because the hash fragment (everything after the #) is not sent to the server.

Limitations

• The target server must accept application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST data.
• This tool doesn't support file uploads.
