QueryForge: Form-First HTTP Query Toolkit

Many developers grapple with legacy form submissions using PUT/PATCH/DELETE, which trigger CORS preflight requests and raise side‑effect concerns. QueryForge rewrites these forms to the new HTTP Query method, eliminating preflight overhead while preserving safety and easing migration to side‑effect‑free API designs.

Comment on: RFC 10008: The new HTTP Query Method

I'm not convinced of the benefit of allowing PUT/PATCH/DELETE in forms. But QUERY sounds more useful, and its lack of side-effects (plus the lack of legacy code using it) would avoid the need for CORS preflight requests.There is a separate issue for QUERY: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/12594
