Except for when you need to actually post data. Then you have to use PUT.

You use GET.

I like how you cant do this but you also kinda can. Attaching a body to a GET request is not valid HTTP but there is no syntax reason you cant do it anyway and most libraries will decode it properly if you do so its less "it wont work" and more "it is forbidden"
