Using Curl for example, I can "post" data (send an entity-body) in a GET request. Is this a valid thing to do? With that I mean:

  • Is it not forbidden by any RFC specification?
  • Does someone out there use it with good reason?

    See RFC2616 – Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1, section 4.3 “Message Body”:

    A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests.

    In section 9.3 “GET” including an entity-body is not forbidden.

    So, yes, you are allowed to send an entity-body with a HTTP GET request.
