RFC 10008 (June 2026) standardizes the QUERY HTTP method: a safe, idempotent request method that carries content in the request body. Flask already routes and dispatches arbitrary methods, so this adds the idiomatic ergonomics that mirror the existing get/post/put/delete/patch shortcuts: - Scaffold.query() registers a route with methods=["QUERY"], inherited by both Flask and Blueprint. - "query" is added to views.http_method_funcs so MethodView dispatches a QUERY request to a `query` handler. Includes tests, a changelog entry, and an autodoc-picked docstring.

Description
RFC 10008 (June 2026) standardizes
the
QUERYHTTP method: a safe, idempotent request method that carries contentin the request body (standardizing the "POST for a read-only query with a large
body" workaround used by GraphQL and REST search endpoints).
Flask already routes and dispatches arbitrary method names, so this adds the
idiomatic ergonomics that mirror the existing
get/post/put/delete/patchshortcuts:Scaffold.query()registers a route withmethods=["QUERY"], inherited byboth
FlaskandBlueprint."query"is added toviews.http_method_funcs, soMethodViewdispatches aQUERYrequest to aqueryhandler.Higher-level RFC 10008 features (the
Accept-Queryheader, server-assignedquery-result URIs, caching semantics) are application/Werkzeug concerns and are
intentionally out of scope.

Client.query()shortcut is aseparate, independent Werkzeug change (pallets/werkzeug#3194).
