[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1124) Can't send request body with
HTTP methods other than POST and PUT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1124?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13099045#comment-13099045 ]
William R. Speirs commented on HTTPCLIENT-1124:
-----------------------------------------------
>From section 4.3 of the RFC 2616: "if the request method does not include defined semantics for an entity-body, then the message-body SHOULD be ignored when handling the request." As the GET method does not describe a semantics for an entity-body, I do not think it's unrealistic for the client to not allow it to be included.

> Reporter: Alexey Levan
> Priority: Minor

> I'd like to have a possibility to send an HttpEntity regardless of method of request. The HTTP spec doesn't prohibit that (AFAIK, even GET requests with body are allowed), and any spec-compliant implementation shouldn't do it either. I suggest merging HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase with HttpRequestBase, since there's really no reason to make this artifical restriction.
