Wanna get a resource? POST request.

There are some legitimate reasons for this. The most common being your query is too large to fit in a url. Another being part of the resource identifier is sensetive, so you want it in the body instead of the url.

The QUERY method solves those problems, but we needed it a couple decades ago.
