respond to GET requests while mapping them to existing endpoints that are accessed using a POST. Transform the GET parameters into the request body for the POST.

This cannot be implemented until #505 has been implemented, because being able to apply a plugin per specific endpoints will be available in #505.

@linking12 It's a complex transformation. But if you want to take a stab at it... contributions are welcome! 😄
