Regarding the behaviour of Sense to automatically choose POST regardless of
the user writing GET:
I was recently rewriting a search query I had written in the Sense UI from
a search query to a request for a raw document by ID, using the GET API. In
the process of changing from
GET /index/type/_search
{ ... }
to
GET /index/type/id
I submitted
GET /index/type/id
{... }
which Sense helpfully submitted as a POST request, over-writing the
document with the search query. In production.
To say that this behaviour was unexpected and unhelpful would be an
understatement. I would consider it irresponsible and unsafe, and I highly
recommend the behaviour be disabled.
Please try to read past my obvious irritation and the part of this mistake
which falls on my head, to the part in this mistake that the Sense UI
played too.
All the best,
Paul
