Why is it recommended to put sensitive information in the body of an HTTP request instead of URL or headers?

Sensitive information is recommended to be placed in the body of the HTTP request rather than in the URL or headers for several reasons:

• Security: URLs and headers are often logged by servers, proxies, and browsers, which can lead to data leaks.
• Length limitations: URLs have length restrictions, which can be inconvenient for large amounts of data.
• Caching: Requests with parameters in the URL can be cached, which is undesirable for confidential information.

For example, when sending a password or token, it is better to use a POST request with data in the body to minimize the risk of disclosure.
