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 QUERY requests can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.

Latest proposed method since PATCH from 2010, and PRI from 2015?

    I would love this. Had an excellent search system that required no server state… But i could only use POST for large requests. Which was a pain.

    I’m not very familiar with the format of RFCs. Is this approved and is going to ship to clients and servers, or still a draft?

    Glad to see nore progress on this, but damn, it sure is slow goings. Not to mention that there’s been an obvious need for this for at least a decade.
