             Summary: GET request should support body
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1703
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1703
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Fluent HC
    Affects Versions: 4.5.1
            Reporter: Konstantin Ignatyev


I have discovered that fluent client does not allow BODY for a get request
 java.lang.IllegalStateException: GET request cannot enclose an entity
  at org.apache.http.client.fluent.Request.body(Request.java:348)
  at org.apache.http.client.fluent.Request.bodyString(Request.java:375)
  at kgi.mcytravel.wsite.services.FullTextSearchService.fullTextSearch(FullTextSearchService.scala:72)


Which is not correct, spec does not prohibit GET request from having a body. It seems a bit unconventional but makes perfect sense considering complex search requests use case. And it is utilized by ElasticSearch for example

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search.html

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?routing=kimchy' -d '{
    "query": {
        "bool" : {
            "must" : {
                "query_string" : {
                    "query" : "some query string here"
                }
            },
            "filter" : {
                "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
            }
        }
    }
}
