Internet-Draft HTTP Method Registrations March 2010
1. Introduction
This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
methods which have been defined in standards-track RFCs before the
IANA HTTP Method Registry was established.
2. Security Considerations
There are no security considerations related to the registration
itself.
3. IANA Considerations
Appendix A provides initial registrations of HTTP method names for
the IANA HTTP Method registry at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods> (see Section 2.1 of
[draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics]).
