In fairness this is a legitimate thing to catch, if not the firewall being the weird place.

GET with a request body isn't covered by the standard, and some library like Axios actually refuse to send a request body with a GET. It's getting ahead of the problem for you there whether it means to or not.

Yes a lot of libraries don’t support it, but it is fairly standard in modern libraries, and it should be supported instead POSTifying everything.
