title: REST API - Post Requests to Query Active Directory
body: <p>My company is currently writting a REST API where they allow querying for Active Directory specific information via a POST requests.</p>
  
  <p>In the request body the following information gets sent to the API:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Filter (LDAP)</li>
  <li>Properties to return (e.g userAccountControl, sAMAccountName)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>From a personal point of view I would have definitely realised it via simple GET methods.</p>
  
  <p>Is the POST method approach the recommended way to so? Are there any particular reasons to implement it with POST?</p>
