Insecure Transport: HTTP GET

ABSTRACT

標識調用使用 HTTP GET（而非 POST）方法將數據發送到服務器。

EXPLANATION

使用 GET 方法的 HTTP 請求允許將 URL 和請求參數緩存到瀏覽器的 URL 緩存、中間代理和服務器日志中。這可能將敏感信息泄露給不具備相應數據權限的人。
例 1：以下代碼使用 GET HTTP 方法而非 POST 來發送 HTTP 請求。

...
	NSString * const USER_URL = @"https://www.somesvr.com/someapp/user";
...
	NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:USER_URL]];
	[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
...

...
	NSURLRequest *theRequest=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/"]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
timeoutInterval:60.0];
	NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
	if (theConnection) {
	// Create the NSMutableData to hold the received data.
	// receivedData is an instance variable declared elsewhere.
		receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
	} else {
...
