 Just my hunch (and probably a wrong one), but maybe it's fairly new and wasn't available when the frameworks were developed? And when it did become available, a case of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"? 🤔

				 olback106467yWhy would you send data with a GET request anyway? 🤔 olback106467yWhy would you send data with a GET request anyway? 🤔
 
 POST/PUT/PATCH Are there for a reason.

				@olback i know the good practices. But it shouldn't mean "rfc? Fuck it, I know better - I'll do it my way"

				@olback just curious.. What method would you use for getByFilter()? :) it's not a _write_ method in any way. It's a get... Just with a payload containing filter criteria.
 
 P.S. HEAD payload is also disallowed...

				 hndk2607yHappened to me with DELETE. It can have a payload, but some libraries don't implement it, and some servers even ignore it. GET and DELETE should get all the information required from the url they use. hndk2607yHappened to me with DELETE.

				I think its more about convention and verb. GET refers to query something be it with a payload or query string




Soo... What's with the HTTP:GET payload? Rfc allows it but libraries implemebting it - don't. Anyone knows why are libs not following specs?
