Payloads of HTTP Request Methods

Question

The Wikipedia entry on HTTP lists the following HTTP request methods:

• HEAD: Asks for the response identical to the one that would correspond t

Answer 1

Here is the summary from RFC 7231, an updated version of the link @Darrel posted:

• HEAD - No defined body semantics.
• GET - No defined body semantics.
• PUT - Body supported.
• POST - Body supported.
• DELETE - No defined body semantics.
• TRACE - Body not supported.
• OPTIONS - Body supported but no semantics on usage (maybe in the future).
• CONNECT - No defined body semantics

As @John also mentioned, all request methods support query strings in the URL (one notable exception might be OPTIONS which only seems to be useful [in my tests] if the URL is HOST/*).

I haven't tested the CONNECT and PATCH methods since I have no interest in them ATM.
