Hey, I'm not sure if this is bikeshedding, but the concept of parsing bodies for non-POST requests lands really close to a proposal for adding a QUERY method to the HTTP standard. Draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-safe-method-w-body Discussion: https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/labels/safe-method-w-body
It's meant to address the recent need for complex querying (GraphQL / Elastic Search) that necessitates using POST but loses the default caching of GET. I think this RFC could serve as the groundwork for supporting QUERY if it's extended to other MIME types in the future as Larry suggested. But QUERY probably still has years to go before there is a consensus on it (I think it's been talked about for 6+ years now) On Tue, Dec 5, 2023 at 2:29 PM Ilija Tovilo <tovilo.il...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone > > On Fri, Oct 6, 2023 at 3:44 PM Ilija Tovilo <tovilo.il...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > I'd like to announce an RFC that proposes adding a new function called > > parse_post_data() to expose the existing functionality to userland, so > > that the mechanism can be used for other HTTP verbs. > > > > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rfc1867-non-post > > I took a closer look at RoadRunner regarding file uploads and noticed > that $input_stream will not be useful to it after all.
