Other Methods

Some of the other notable methods are as follows:

• CONNECT: This is used for HTTP tunneling for security reasons. It's not common in typical web applications and services.
• TRACE: It is used for debugging purposes. It's not common in typical web applications and services.
• OPTIONS: By using the OPTIONS verb, we can query which methods are supported by the web server for that resource.

Here's some part of the response after the OPTIONS method is invoked:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Allow: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST
