Does jquery ui autocomplete use POST or GET while source made by XHR?

Question

I prefered to use ajax with POST. And prepare php pages to accept only POST requests from client. I begin to use jquery ui autocomplete. And get records over source:"action.php"; How ui handles source: while querying server? And is it secure against classic post request?

jquery ui by default uses GET and the default parameter is 'term' therefore it can be received using $_GET['term']

You can also see This if you want to change GET to POST

In pretty much any recent browser, open developer tools (usually F12), go to the "Net" panel (net in firefox, similar in other browsers). Initiate a autocomplete (type something into the box autocomplete is attached to) and you can see the network request which will usually show "GET" or "POST".
