English
Noun
en programming Internet A HTTP method; any of a predefined set of words (such as GET, OPTIONS or POST) that are part of an HTTP request and indicate the desired action to be performed on a given resource.
Usage notes
Verb is a misnomer here, as not all HTTP method names are verbs (for example, OPTIONS is a noun).
