HttpMethod

The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should have no other effect.

The POST method submits an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server.

The PUT method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload.

The DELETE method deletes the specified resource.

The PATCH method partially modifies the specified resource.

The HEAD method asks for a response identical to a GET request, but without the response body. Useful for retrieving meta-information.

The OPTIONS method describes the communication options for the target resource.

The TRACE method performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource.

The companion object provides utility methods for working with HttpMethod enum values.
