Is it possible for you to explain to me how to send  a GET request with a JSON object in the body of the request?

I have already tried to use the following:

<Session id="20" name="Generic Get Request">

<Connection id="1" name="Generic Get Request">

<Request verb="GET" pid="21">

<Headers>

<Header key="authorization" pid="26"/>

</Headers>

<Data pid="20"/>

</Request>

<Response statusCode="22">

<Content pid="23"/>

</Response>

</Connection>

</Session>

Where I populate the Data Pid with the JSON object, but all that happens is it generates a GET request with the JSON object as the query parameter.

The HTTP Sessions were implemented before RFC2616 became obsolete. As such, the assumption was made that a GET request shouldn't contain a body. For ease-of-use, the provided <Data> is automatically added as part of the URL rather than the body.

Unless I'm overlooking some option somewhere, I don't think it's currently possible using the Session syntax as long as the request verb is "GET".
