# Riddles Lab Assessment
Pat,
Everything looks good!
Regarding your reflection on GET and POST requests in e-commerce:

This sounds right. One helpful way of thinking is that GET requests should
not cause any changes, while POST requests should cause some kind of change.
Therefore, it's safe to re-issue the same GET request over and over (e.g.
reloading a webpage) but the same is not true of POST requests.
