Should there be a HTTP verb for 'list' or 'search'?
- dudul 10y agoHow would it be different from `GET` ?
- MTech 10y agoUsing post parameters with a GET verb is generally frowned upon and passing search arguments via url parameters is problematic at times (length, special characters, encoding etc).
- MTech 10y agoAFAIK (from my very small understanding of web standards) it's proposed but not yet a standard. https://annevankesteren.nl/2007/10/http-methods https://annevankesteren.nl/2007/10/http-methods https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5323/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5323/ And it would work like a get but with post arguments.
- MTech 10y agoApologies, looks like the w3c proposal is similar but not the same https://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Proposal_for_HTTP_QUERY_Verb https://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Proposal_for_HTTP_QUERY_Ver... QUERY rather than SEARCH
