TypeError: HEAD or GET Request cannot have a body.

[huanghaiyang]

should HEAD or GET can not add a body ?

[jeffhuys]

HEAD or GET requests should never have a body. Be sure you give body: undefined. null is not the same as "nothing".

[radiosilence]

@jeffhuys Surely there should be an override for this? We don't always control the APIs we talk to, especially if they are written by another company. It seems extremely patronising to actively prevent people doing this.

[nshgraph]

Stating that a GET request should never have a body is not in the HTTP spec. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1

Elasticache is the primary example of an api that uses bodies in GET requests.
