GET: The method GET is used to retrieve/read a representation of a resource and should only be used for that purpose When used only for reading is considered safe (no change on the ressource) and even idempotent (one change ).

• with an unconstrained use of HTTP/GET
• with the intrinsec limitation of HTTP serveur implementation (develop a C# project to illustrate this limitation)
