ReadyAPI GET with Body

I'm trying to use ReadyAPI to submit a GET with a Body.  It appears from what I read that it is not supported.  Is there some workaround for this and will ReadyAPI ever support it?

    Hi,

     

    To add a request body to a GET request please add the below to the ReadyAPI install/bin/ReadyAPI.vmoptions file and restart ReadyAPI.  

     

    -Dallow.get.request.body=true

     

    There should be a request body text area for GET requests after doing this.

    Does it work for Free edition as well? or just limited to Pro?

      Hi,

       

      The functionality is not available in SoapUI open source, it is currently only in ReadyAPI.
