It's kind-of a shame that you're not allowed to do an HTTP GET with a body.

- lgierth 12y agoGET requests are allowed to have a body.
- SabinaHary 12y agoLol
- masklinn 12y agoExcept you are. Some broken proxy may wreck your request, and your HTTP API may or may not allow it, but having a body in an HTTP GET is perfectly valid, as noted multiple times when this article first made the rounds 20 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9138700 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9138700
- Dylan16807 12y agoYou are not allowed to do an HTTP GET with a meaningful body. Happy?
- firemanphil 12y agoYou are allowed them but the body should not influence the outcome of the request. This is mandated by the HTTP/1.1 spec.
