Do POST-Parameters cause problems in the body (HTTP)?

I have researched a lot about this topic, but still have one question. Is it valid to POST to a URL like this:

POST /muster.html?Name=Max+Mustermann&Ort=Musterstadt&PLZ=1234 HTTP/1.1?

I've heard that the query-parameters are sent in the body. Does that cause any problems if there already is content in the body (say another string)? How are the parameters and the actual content separated by the "parser"? Thanks in advance.

Thanks...Do I get it right when I say that is is possible to POST to a URL containing a query string? Who defines where the query string is beings send (URL or Body): The browser? – SimmensK Jan 12 '18 at 09:18
Yes, its possible to POST to a URL containing query string. It can be any client (browser, postman, your code) – Rishikesh Dhokare Jan 12 '18 at 09:20
And I assume that once you receive the URL from a POST (with query-params) the server just has to parse it to get them....If that's right, I got it! Thanks – SimmensK Jan 12 '18 at 09:24
Yes, you are spot on! – Rishikesh Dhokare Jan 12 '18 at 09:25
