RFC 10008 The HTTP QUERY Method
 
Authors:J. Reschke, J.M. Snell, M. Bishop.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 10008
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.
