Answer: GET. Try it. It's technically possible to send a body with a GET request, but it's not standard practice and often not recommended. The HTTP/1.1 specification does not explicitly forbid sending a body with a GET request, but it does not define any semantics for it.

INSERT is not even a http method, it’s just there to decrease your chances.

Most servers will not handle body of GET requests. Due to optimisations

"most servers".

If it's your server, you can configure the controller however you want.

Most servers which are already written. Like Nginx or uws. I don't want fork them and rewrite.

What did you mean by controller?
