Covers new HTTP QUERY method with real-world deployment issues, highly technical and novel.
Summary
RFC 10008's QUERY method (GET with body) works end-to-end on Vercel serverless (Python/Node), Supabase Edge (Deno/Kong), and local FastAPI, but Vercel's edge bot mitigation 403-challenged QUERY traffic after four requests while GET and POST from the same client passed cleanly. The runtime layers are ready, but the edge security layer treats QUERY as anomalous, blocking requests and triggering a sustained challenge window.
