I have a few questions I was hoping to clarify. Is a GET request allowed to have a body? (the spec seems to say “yes”) RFC 7230 3.3 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3> The presence of a message body in a request is signaled by a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field. Request message framing is independent of method semantics, even if the method does not define any use for a message body. Is the server allowed to look at the body in a GET request? (debatable) RFC 7231 4.3.1 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1> A payload within a GET request message has no defined semantics; sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.
