Fix setup check for gzip request mangling being sent as GET
ClosedPublic

Authored by kat on Apr 1 2024, 17:53.

Details

Summary

Certain web servers (or cache layers such as Varnish) strip the body
of GET requests, resulting in the setup check failing when it would
otherwise function normally if a request is sent as POST.

Test Plan

Phorge will no-longer mark the test as failing due to the body of a GET request being dropped.
As per RFC7231, certain implementations of HTTP/1.1 may reject the request or drop the payload
due to a previous revision of the spec where the body was supposed to be ignored (RFC2616, section 4.3)

Discussed on IRC: it seems that this should have been POST all along.

Ah yep, GET with body will get flagged in a number of cases.
