HttpMethod

This specification reserves the method name CONNECT for use with a proxy that can dynamically switch to being a tunnel

The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource identified by the Request-URI.

The GET method means retrieve whatever information (in the form of an entity) is identified by the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be returned as the entity in the response and not the source text of the process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process.

The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response.

The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.

The PATCH method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be applied to the resource identified by the Request-URI.

The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line.

The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI.

The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message.
