Serving non-standard HTTP method with ExpressJS

Question

I would like to write an HTTP server that answer to request using a non-standard HTTP method (verb). For instance, the client would make a request like FOO / HTTP/.1.1

Answer 1

Node has a hard-coded whitelist of acceptable HTTP verbs in C.

In order to accept custom verbs, you must modify the HTTP parser and recompile node.

You mentioned that you're trying to implement PURGE, which was added to the whitelist in v0.7.5.
