We don’t need to hack anymore by using invalid verb (like POST) method when making queries that need to have a body or breaking the standard by adding a body to a GET!

As documented in RFC 7127, it’s a great time to add explicit support for this method to your favourite client/server/library.

edit: As I was mistaken and it's not a Proposed Standard yet, it may be too early to implement it ...BUT on the other hand, node.js for example has released support for it already in June 2024: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/51562

Would love to see this in the wild! It's long overdue.

I have to ask though - what does "reached proposed standard" mean, for those us who one day actually use this. Will this be a part of eg browsers next decade, this year, what?

No, it didn’t.

Damn, you're right, I was so overexcited about that that I misread https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-safe-met.... It's still an Internet-Draft and only the intended status is Proposed Standard... I will try to fix the submission.
