- Field Detail
  - OPTIONS
```
public static final HttpMethod OPTIONS
```
    The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.
  - GET
```
public static final HttpMethod GET
```
    The GET method means retrieve whatever information (in the form of an entity) is identified by the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be returned as the entity in the response and not the source text of the process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process.
  - HEAD
```
public static final HttpMethod HEAD
```
    The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response.
  - POST
```
public static final HttpMethod POST
```
    The 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.
  - PUT
```
public static final HttpMethod PUT
```
    The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI.
  - PATCH
```
public static final HttpMethod PATCH
```
    The PATCH method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be applied to the resource identified by the Request-URI.
  - DELETE
```
public static final HttpMethod DELETE
```
    The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource identified by the Request-URI.
  - TRACE
```
public static final HttpMethod TRACE
```
    The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message.
  - CONNECT
```
public static final HttpMethod CONNECT
```
    This specification reserves the method name CONNECT for use with a proxy that can dynamically switch to being a tunnel
- Constructor Detail
  - HttpMethod
```
public HttpMethod(String name)
```
    Creates a new HTTP method with the specified name. You will not need to create a new method unless you are implementing a protocol derived from HTTP, such as RTSP and ICAP
- Method Detail
  - valueOf
```
public static HttpMethod valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the HttpMethod represented by the specified name. If the specified name is a standard HTTP method name, a cached instance will be returned. Otherwise, a new instance will be returned.
  - name
```
public String name()
```
    Returns the name of this method.
  - asciiName
```
public AsciiString asciiName()
```
    Returns the name of this method.
