Body Tab not enabled for GET requests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I should also note that this is not a POST operation...I am inherently 
requesting
safe GET type data, but need to provide complex qualifiers.

This is a strange issue. I have never come across a non-POST/PUT Request having 
a
Body. Anyway, I will try to get my basics right, and also see if the underlying 
HTTP
library used by RESTClient (Commons HTTP 3.x) supports this.

I have RESTful WebServices book. Can u tell me the chapter/pages which talk 
about
body content in GET request?

It appears that my lack of HTTP conventions have misled me here...when the 
author made the statement that 
"the lack of a body was *typical* of a GET request" (emphasis mine), I made the 
leap assuming that though it did 
not typically have one, that a GET request *could* have a body if needed.  As 
I've looked at various HTTP library 
implementations since my post here, however, it seems that at least by 
convention no one does this.  My 
apologies for the errant feature request.
