Query with Curl

- RFC 10008 introduces the QUERY HTTP method, which processes enclosed content safely and idempotently.
- QUERY is similar to POST but idempotent, allowing retries without partial state concerns, akin to a GET with a body.
- cURL supports QUERY with -X, but use --follow for redirects to maintain method integrity, avoiding old options like -L.
- QUERY is useful for bypassing URL size limits, reducing encoding overhead, and improving data privacy compared to URLs.
