New HTTP verb "QUERY" (after POST and GET) - RFC10008

[SiveaITA]

A new method is defined by the IETF is described in the RFC10008 here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc10008.html

I have created a ticket to add this to Indy: #690.

In the meantime, you can send QUERY requests using TIdHTTP by calling its DoRequest() method (which is protected, so use an accessor to reach it), eg:

type
  TIdHTTPAccess = class(TIdHTTP)
  end;

var
  RequestBody, ResponseBody: TStream;

RequestBody := ...;
ResponseBody := ...;
TIdHTTPAccess(IdHTTP1).DoRequest('QUERY', URL, RequestBody, ResponseBody, [200]);

A new public CustomRequest() method will be added in Indy 10.7 (#254):

IdHTTP1.CustomRequest('QUERY', URL, RequestBody, ResponseBody, [200]);

If you want to handle QUERY requests in TIdHTTPServer, you can use its OnCommandOther event and look at the ARequestInfo.Command property:

procedure TMyForm.IdHTTPServer1CommandOther(AContext: TIdContext;
  ARequestInfo: TIdHTTPRequestInfo; AResponseInfo: TIdHTTPResponseInfo);
begin
  if ARequestInfo.Command = 'QUERY' then
  begin
    ...
  end;
end;

Thanks @rlebeau , very clear.
