202 Response to GET request

Hi,

I recently came across an API which was returning '202 Accepted' response
to GET request. It seemed a bit odd.
Most asynchronous operations on HTTP implemented with POST request and 202
response.
While HTTP does not mandate 202 response to be returned only to POST
requests, following lines in RFC do indicate, its almost always going to
POST.

"The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a
server to accept a request for some other process. (perhaps a
batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring
that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is
completed. "

Have anyone come across implementations using 202 response for GET?

Thanks,
Unmesh
