Add GET support to NetworkInterface

I have an application where the ReactJS app is hosted on one domain, and the Django service (using Graphene) is hosted on another. The ReactJS app needs to access the data in the Django app.

Steps to Reproduce

Since Apollo defaults to using POST for queries, I’m hitting a CSRF issue when trying to access the data. At this time, since these APIs are all read-only, I’m using csrf_exempt on the GraphQLView and this is working OK.

However, I would much prefer to use GET for my read requests.

After some digging, I found that I could modify the method to GET by using applyMiddleware and modifying req.options.method = "GET". However, It is still trying to post a BODY, which is not allowed in a GET. I tried doing delete req.request.query but that didn’t seem to help. I didn’t really expect that second part to work, but gave it a shot anyway… 😃

Expected Behavior

Would you be able to either provide an additional NetworkInterface that uses GET or some documentation on how to create our own?

I may create a PR for this feature at some point, if I get the bandwidth.

I implemented such a network interface in an application a few days ago: https://gist.github.com/n1ru4l/cb24401592417bda7fad989d416f0b9f
