HttpMethod (Azure SDK for Java Reference Documentation)
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<HttpMethod>, java.lang.constant.Constable

Represents the HTTP methods that can be used in a request.

This enum encapsulates the HTTP methods that can be used in a request, such as GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, and CONNECT.

This enum is useful when you want to specify the HTTP method of a request. For example, you can use it when creating an instance of HttpRequest.

Note: The HTTP methods are defined by the HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC 2616) and the HTTP/2 specification (RFC 7540).
