Can't send formData with GET requests.

I’m trying to make a GET request to my api, using flasgger-ui. But I get the response:

{
  "status": "400 BAD REQUEST",
  "type": "error",
  "description": {
    "name": "Provide valid name."
  }
}

As the endpoint expects a parameter in formBody and data is not parsed properly by flasgger-ui, I get this response. Another important point is the CURL request command generated at flasgger-ui , if run directly from terminal. Gives the expected results. And I can even send data in formBody with GET request if I use python requests module. I can’t figure out whats wrong.

Please explain.

I noticed today that test/demo app http://javabrett.pythonanywhere.com/changelog_090/apidocs/ suffers from this issue, since its GET endpoint is declared to accept formData.

Per above, my inclination is to not support this. I suppose it boils down to whether flasgger should allow workarounds at the edges of the Swagger and OpenAPI specifications, or whether it should not attempt to support such things.

I’m closing this based on the above discussion and reasoning.
