On: The HTTP Query Method

Size can be a very practical concern if your query parameter is e.g. a picture.

Not showing the URL in various logs can be a concern if your query parameters are sensitive.

A picture as an input for a GET seems like a very strange use-case. Can you elaborate?

I do agree on the quirkiness of encoding a bunch of data in the URL. Its nice to decouple the endpoint from the input at a more fundamental level.

Use cases like reverse image search come to mind
