115
1161.  Introduction
117
118   This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
119   methods which have been defined in standards-track RFCs other than
120   [draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics] before the IANA HTTP Method
121   Registry was established.
122
1232.  Security Considerations
124
125   There are no security considerations related to the registration
126   itself.
127
1283.  IANA Considerations
129
130   Appendix A provides initial registrations of HTTP method names for
131   the IANA HTTP Method registry at
132   <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods> (see Section 8.1 of
133   [draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics]).
