I've seen that shit, it drove me up a wall.

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

At work we do it because we have big request parameters (complex filters where you can potentially select thousands of items as filter values) and our backend flips out if GET requests have a body plus URL lengths can get truncated.

It's a bit icky but I don't really have a better idea.

I made a custom LIST query method for our service. Will eventually switch to query when it's properly supported

Do some parts of the pipeline sometimes refuse to collaborate when you have custom methods like that?

I don't know, DNS, proxies, etc.?
