| 116 | 1. Introduction |
|---|
| 117 | |
|---|
| 118 | This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) |
|---|
| 119 | methods which have been defined in standards-track RFCs before the |
|---|
| 120 | IANA HTTP Method Registry was established. |
|---|
| 121 | |
|---|
| 122 | 2. Security Considerations |
|---|
| 123 | |
|---|
| 124 | There are no security considerations related to the registration |
|---|
| 125 | itself. |
|---|
| 126 | |
|---|
| 127 | 3. IANA Considerations |
|---|
| 128 | |
|---|
| 129 | Appendix A provides initial registrations of HTTP method names for |
|---|
| 130 | the IANA HTTP Method registry at |
|---|
| 131 | <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods> (see Section 2.2 of |
|---|
| 132 | [draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics]). |
