How do I send an HTTP GET with a body?

Issue

Boss wants us to send a HTTP GET with parameters in the body. I can't figure out how to do this using org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod or java.net.HttpURLConnection;.

GetMethod doesn't seem to take any parameters, and I'm not sure how to use HttpURLConnection for this.

Solution

HTTP GET method should NEVER have a body section. You can pass your parameters using URL query string or HTTP headers.

If you want to have a BODY section. Use POST or other methods.
