Send Payload in Get calls in Java

Question

We are consuming an API and we are required to send filter values in the payload while making GET calls(not in the URL). Is there a library that supports this?

You should take the developers of that api out back and shoot them. — Code-Apprentice, Aug 25 '22 at 23:32

If you using java 11 or above, I don`t think you need other library, you can send body with java.net.http.HttpClient

import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;

public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException, IOException, InterruptedException {

    HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
            .uri(new URI("http://localhost:8001"))
            .method("GET", HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString("Sample request body"))
            .build();
    HttpResponse<String> response = HttpClient.newBuilder()
            .build()
            .send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());
}


// server side print **with body**
// b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Upgrade, HTTP2-Settings\r\nContent-Length: 19\r\nHost: localhost:8001\r\nHTTP2-Settings: AAEAAEAAAAIAAAABAAMAAABkAAQBAAAAAAUAAEAA\r\nUpgrade: h2c\r\nUser-Agent: Java-http-client/16.0.2\r\nContent-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8\r\n\r\nSample request body'
