Support HTTP QUERY method in Azure Functions

[ajaymahadeven]

Hi,

Thank you for the work on this library , we largely depend on this library for our production-grade APIs.

While this may be bit too early , I was wondering if this is on the roadmap :

Support the new HTTP QUERY method defined in RFC 10008 for Azure Functions HTTP triggers.

Reference:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc10008/

Background

The new HTTP QUERY method addresses the gap between GET and POST.

Currently, APIs often use:

• GET for simple read operations where parameters are passed in the URL.
• POST for complex read-only queries because it supports a request body.

However, using POST for read-only operations is not semantically ideal. The QUERY method provides a safe, read-only HTTP method that supports a request body for complex queries.

Proposed Feature

Allow Azure Functions HTTP triggers to handle QUERY requests in the same way they currently support methods such as:

• GET
• POST
• PUT
• PATCH
• DELETE

Example:

QUERY /api/products HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "category": "laptops",
  "brands": [
    "Dell",
    "Lenovo"
  ],
  "price": {
    "min": 1000,
    "max": 2500
  }
}
