Idea: Add the QUERY verb to the constants.ts/implement across the app

[kevsiraki]

Summary

Please add support for the HTTP QUERY method across Insomnia.

The QUERY method is now being used for safe, body-based query requests. It is useful when a request is conceptually a read/query operation, but the query input is too complex or large to fit naturally into URL query parameters.

Use case

For example, ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs can already handle the method using a custom method mapping:

app.MapMethods("/weatherforecast", ["QUERY"], () =>
{
    var forecast = Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(index =>
        new WeatherForecast
        (
            DateOnly.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now.AddDays(index)),
            Random.Shared.Next(-20, 55),
            summaries[Random.Shared.Next(summaries.Length)]
        ))
        .ToArray();

    return forecast;
});

Hi @kevsiraki,

Thanks for sharing the detailed use case.

The QUERY HTTP method is already available in Insomnia. Could you try upgrading to Insomnia 13.1.0 and test the QUERY method again?

You should be able to select QUERY from the method dropdown, enter the required endpoint, and provide the request body as needed by your API.

Let us know if you still experience any issues when sending the QUERY request after upgrading to 13.1.0.

Thank you!
