Hi all,
Warning: this issue breaks RESTful principles... but such is life
I have a situation where some of the possible more complex GET requests being done on my API are to long. These are primarily bulk requests for data and so I can split these requests into sub requests. This has the nasty effect of hindering performance which is the thing I am trying to avoid with these bulk requests.
Is there an easy way to convert a GET to a POST so as to avoid these kinds of problems and not have to support to completely different end points on the server side? I know this is not what POST is supposed to be used for but I really need to be able to handle these corner cases.
Cheers,
Florian
