alt Hacker NewsVery timely as I just recently ended up with a URL query string so big that CloudFront rejected the request before it even hit my server.. Ended up switching that endpoint to POST. Would've liked QUERY for that!

I have come across systems that use GET but with a payload like POST.
This allows the GET to bypass the 4k URL limit.
It's not a common pattern, and QUERY is a nice way to differentiate it (and, I suspect will be more compatible with Middleware).
I have a suspicion that quite a few servers support this pattern (as does my own) but not many programmers are aware of it, so it's very infrequently used.
