Network Quality Estimator (NQE) current records RTT observations from all HTTP requests. However, non-GET requests (such as POST) may add noise to the network quality metrics since they may require longer processing times at the server. To reduce noise, NQE should record RTT observations from only the GET requests.
Similarly, in-flight non-GET requests should not be counted towards the threshold of NetworkQualityEstimatorParams::throughput_min_requests_in_flight() when taking the throughput observation.
