Re: [whatwg/fetch] Request with GET/HEAD method cannot have body. (#551)

Another point that shows how absurd this is:

I'm making a GUI rest client as a convenient testing tool embedded in an IDE.

So I'm not even the one deciding on the request or its semantics, I'm just providing a tool for others to use.

And now, because of this, I basically have to hand this hostage situation to everyone using my plugin and suddenly I - who is in no position to interfere with what my users wanna do with the client - have to enforce non-standard behavior when such a plugin should be as flexible as it can be.

Not allowing GET bodies is not rooted in caution. It's certainly not rooted in standard compliance. By now, I'm pretty confident it's rooted in stubbornness and pride.

If it breaks legacy code - don't use GET bodies when interacting with those systems. It's that easy.
