HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

(Doesn’t have an RFC number yet but has been approved, will get one in a few weeks.)

The HTTP QUERY Method

This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.

@timbray after all this time 🎉

Remember using and needing it with a GET and it working fine but then suddenly everyone started complaining and saying that it's broken because middle boxes and proxys fuck it up. I never saw it happen, but oh well. Let's see how this one goes.
