RFC 10008: Defining the HTTP QUERY Method for Safe, Idempotent Requests
By
Authors' Addresses
Summary
This specification defines the HTTP QUERY method, a new HTTP request method that allows safe and idempotent queries. Unlike POST requests, QUERY requests can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes. The method processes enclosed content and responds with the result, making it suitable for query operations where the same request can be safely retried.
