SEARCH requests missing body

[cschram]

In PhantomJS 1.9.0 it appears that AJAX requests using the SEARCH method are missing the request body. Confirmed that jQuery is using the right data:

$(document).ajaxSend(function (e, xhr, options) {
    console.debug('\n' + JSON.stringify(options, null, 4) + '\n');
});

$.ajax({
    url: backend_url,
    type: 'SEARCH',
    data: xml_data
});

However the endpoint receives everything correctly except for the body, which is missing.

To be fair, SEARCH isn't a valid HTTP method so far as I am aware.

It's a part of WebDAV, RFC5323. As far as I can tell, it works much like any other HTTP verb outside of the context of WebDAV. All major browsers support it.

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
