HTTP Request Methods[edit]
GET: Requests a representation of the specified resource. By far the most common method used on the Web today.
HEAD: Asks for the response identical to the one that would correspond to a GET request, but without the response body. This is useful for retrieving meta-information written in response headers, without having to transport the entire content.
POST: Submits user data (e.g. from a HTML form) to the identified resource. The data is included in the body of the request.
PUT: Uploads a representation of the specified resource.
DELETE: Deletes the specified resource (rarely implemented).
TRACE: Echoes back the received request, so that a client can see what intermediate servers are adding or changing in the request.
OPTIONS: Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports. This can be used to check the functionality of a web server.
CONNECT: For use with a proxy that can change to being an SSL tunnel.
