| Aug 26, 2020 at 5:09 | comment | added | Jerry Jeremiah | This question says the same thing: stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body "Yes. In other words, any HTTP request message is allowed to contain a message body, and thus must parse messages with that in mind. Server semantics for GET, however, are restricted such that a body, if any, has no semantic meaning to the request. The requirements on parsing are separate from the requirements on method semantics. So, yes, you can send a body with GET, and no, it is never useful to do so. " The actual answer has more details. | |

| Jun 18, 2018 at 14:18 | comment | added | Berin Loritsch | there are technical downsides since many javascript libraries don't support GET with a body. For databases where you are performing a search, it makes logical sense to do it that way, but you wouldn't be able to make the call from a single page app to your ElasticSearch or SOLR instance (the only APIs where I saw this combo implemented). | |
