On: The HTTP Query Method

[cryptonector]

So basically a GET with a request body, with the query as the request body rather than as URI local-part query-parameters.

[TZubiri → cryptonector]

So a POST with different semantics?

[cryptonector → TZubiri]

Yes. A POST that is idempotent, safe, cacheable (POST normally isn't any of those).

Alternatively this is a standardization of "GET-with-request-body" (which is NOT allowed by the spec but which some implement anyways).
