$http.get() with JSON data

Question

I\'m writing a server app and wanted the client to use data in body to pararmeterize my GET method, like this:

# http -v GET http://localhost:3000/url text=123 f         


        

Answer 1

I would take this as the answer:

For HTTP, it's not prohibited, but you shouldn't use it as the server may (and SHOULD) ignore the body of GET request.

Reference: HTTP GET with request body

For XHR, body of GET and HEAD will be ignored (hinted by @jacob-koshy).
