HTTP request methods
HTTP defines a set of request methods to indicate the desired action to be performed for a given resource. Although they can also be nouns, these request methods are sometimes referred to as HTTP verbs. Each of them implements a different semantic, but some common features are shared by a group of them: e.g. a request method can be safe, idempotent, or cacheable.
| GET | The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data. |
| HEAD | The HEAD method asks for a response identical to that of a GET request, but without the response body. |
| POST | The POST method is used to submit an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server. |
| PUT | The PUT method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload. |
| DELETE | The DELETE method deletes the specified resource. |
| CONNECT | The CONNECT method establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource. |
| OPTIONS | The OPTIONS method is used to describe the communication options for the target resource. |
| TRACE | The TRACE method performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource. |
| PATCH | The PATCH method is used to apply partial modifications to a resource. |
