RFC 10008 standardized the HTTP QUERY method: a safe, idempotent method
that carries a request body, for cases where the query is too large,
complex, or sensitive to put in the URL.
k6 could already issue QUERY requests through http.request('QUERY', ...),
since the method string is passed through to net/http. This adds the
http.query(url, body, params) helper for parity with the existing
per-method wrappers (get/post/put/patch/del/options), so QUERY is
discoverable and consistent now that it's a real standard.

What?
Adds an
http.query(url, body, params)convenience method for the HTTP QUERY method, as suggested in #6128.QUERY (RFC 10008, Proposed Standard as of June 2026) is a safe, idempotent method that carries a request body — for queries too large, complex, or sensitive to put in the URL.
Why?
http.request('QUERY', url, body)already works since the method string passes through to net/http, but every other method has a discoverable helper (http.get,http.post,http.put,http.patch,http.del,http.options). This gives QUERY the same treatment.Implementation
js/modules/k6/http/http.go, mirroring the other body-carrying method helpers. net/http has noMethodQueryconstant, so it's defined locally.TestRequestcovering method, body, and headers round-trip through/anything.Testing
go test -race ./js/modules/k6/http/passes, including the newTestRequest/QUERYsubtest.Docs for the new method will need a follow-up in the docs repo.
