Title : CoAP FETCH Method
Author : Carsten Bormann
Filename : draft-bormann-core-coap-fetch-00.txt

Abstract:
Similar to HTTP, the existing Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
GET method only allows the specification of a URI and request
parameters in CoAP options, not the transfer of a request payload
detailing the request. This leads to some applications to using POST
where actually a cacheable, idempotent, safe request is desired.
The present proposal adds a new CoAP method, FETCH, to perform the
equivalent of a GET with a request body.
This specification is inspired by I-D.snell-search-method, which
updates the definition and semantics of the HTTP SEARCH request
method previously defined by RFC5323. However, there is no intention
to limit FETCH to search-type operations, and the resulting
properties may not be the same as those of HTTP SEARCH. For now, we
therefore prefer to discuss the proposal under a different name, for
which we have chosen the GET synonym FETCH.
