Options - : Request/response Chain Identified by The Request-URI

This document describes 8 common HTTP methods: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, and CONNECT. OPTIONS requests information about communication options, GET retrieves information, HEAD is like GET but without response body, POST submits an entity to the server, PUT stores an entity under a URI, DELETE removes a resource, TRACE echoes back the request, and CONNECT establishes a tunnel.

HTTP Methods

1. OPTIONS Represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI 2. GET Method is used to retrieve whatever information (in the form of an entity) is identified by the Request-URI 3. HEAD This method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response 4. 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 5. PUT Method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI 6. DELETE The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource identified by the Request-URI 7. TRACE The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message 8. CONNECT This specification reserves the method name CONNECT for use with a proxy that can dynamically switch to being a tunnel (e.g. SSL tunneling)
