You have to be more clear on what you're asking. If you're talking about
security vulnerabilities in curl due to things like buffer overflows, then
theoretically there could be different issues in the GET code path vs. the
POST code path but one is not inherently safer than the other. If you're
talking about things information leakage in logs, then GET would be safer
because the parameters are more likely to be logged than POST parameters.
There are probably a dozen other ways to interpret your question.
