The default HTTP method that DataTables uses to get data from the server-side if GET, however, there are times when you may wish to use POST. This is very easy using the fnServerData() initialisation parameter, as shown in this example.

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "scripts/post.php",
"fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
$.ajax( {
"dataType": 'json',
"type": "POST",
"url": sSource,
"data": aoData,
"success": fnCallback
} );
}
} );
} );
