Does any currently released browse include the body when doing an

Disagreed. Please do not try to standardize HTTP APIs that profile
what HTTP allows.
XHR already disallows a lot of things that HTTP allows. Setting
certain headers, cross site requests, etc. Why is this different?
Besides that, Björn already reported that both IE7 and FF happily
pass the body, as they should (IMHO).
My reading of Björns email was that they did not drop it for HEAD,
OPTIONS and EXAMPLE did not drop the entity body. In my testing IE,
Firefox and Opera all dropped the entity body of GET requests.
Did you try Safari (or can you post the test case so I can try it?)
I did not try safari. You can try it here:
