Malformed request if my GET has body

[Son Nguyen]

Hi guys,

For some reason, my Gateway will reject the GET request (POST works fine, not sure about the other verbs) if it has json body (I haven't tested other content types). API Gateway itself doesn't even log the request so I have no clue what's wrong. I specify in my yaml that the get consumes application/json.

Please find the attached yaml.

Thank you

Unfortunately the HTTP protocol itself does not support sending a body with the GET method. Can you share the exact error returned to you?

Thanks Josh, I didn't know that.

Just circling back on this and wanted to call out an inaccuracy in my original message:

 > the HTTP protocol itself does not support sending a body with the GET method

It is not the HTTP protocol itself that forbids this, but rather a convention that is followed by almost all HTTP servers and clients. So it is technically allowed by HTTP to send a message using GET which includes a "body" (payload following the headers), however many servers will either drop the body silently or return an error of some sort.
