 * **method** `string`
 * **body** `string | Buffer | Uint8Array | stream.Readable | Iterable | AsyncIterable | null` (optional) - Default: `null`
 * **headers** `UndiciHeaders | string[]` (optional) - Default: `null`.
+* **query** `Record<string, any> | null` (optional) - Default: `null` - Query string params to be embedded in the request URL. Note that both keys and values of query are encoded using `encodeURIComponent`. If for some reason you need to send them unencoded, embed query params into path directly instead.
 * **idempotent** `boolean` (optional) - Default: `true` if `method` is `'HEAD'` or `'GET'` - Whether the requests can be safely retried or not. If `false` the request won't be sent until all preceding requests in the pipeline has completed.
 * **blocking** `boolean` (optional) - Default: `false` - Whether the response is expected to take a long time and would end up blocking the pipeline. When this is set to `true` further pipelining will be avoided on the same connection until headers have been received.
 * **upgrade** `string | null` (optional) - Default: `null` - Upgrade the request. Should be used to specify the kind of upgrade i.e. `'Websocket'`.
