I'm not 100% on this but I think GET requests are logged by default.

POST requests, normally used for passwords, don't get logged by default.

BUT the Uri would get logged would get logged on both, so if the URI contained @username:Password then it's likely all there in the logs

GET requests are logged

That’s why I specified

the receiving web server doesn’t log the URI

in my question.

Get and post requests are logged

The difference is that the logged get requests will also include any query params

GET /some/uri?user=Alpha&pass=bravo

While a post request will have those same params sent as part of a form body request. Those aren’t logged and so it would look like this

POST /some/uri
