[feature] Add HTTP QUERY method, formalized as RFC 10008 in June 2026

Use case

HTTP QUERY method, formalized as RFC 10008 in June 2026. HTTP QUERY addresses a longstanding limitation in HTTP by combining the body-carrying capability of POST with the safety and idempotency guarantees of GET. It is designed for complex, structured read operations where query string length limits make GET impractical and POST’s non-idempotent semantics are semantically incorrect.

Possible solution

Add new method QUERY in these files : src/protocol/http/src/main/java/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/http/util/HTTPConstantsInterface.java src/protocol/http/src/main/java/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/http/sampler/HTTPSamplerBase.java
