Types of HTTP requests

 

HTTP defines a set of request methods to perform the desired actions. These request methods are:

1. GET: The GET method asked for the representation of the specified resource. This request was used to retrieve the data.

2. POST: The POST technique is utilized to present an element to the predetermined resource, generally causing a change in state or reactions on the server.

3. HEAD: The HEAD method is similar to the GET method but asks for the response without the response body.

4. PUT: This method is used to substitute all current representations with the payload.

5. DELETE: It is used to delete the predetermined resource.

6. CONNECT: This request is used to settle the TCP/IP tunnel to the server by the target resource

7. OPTION: This method is used to give back the HTTP strategies to communicate with the target resource.

8. TRACE: This method echoes the message which tells the customer how many progressions have been made by an intermediate server.

9. PATCH: The PATCH method gives partial modifications to a resource.
