HTTP Request Action - Understanding HTTP Methods

What are the HTTP methods



Here is an excerpt from W3schools : 

Link : http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_httpmethods.asp


Method
Description
    GET
 Retrieves a desired object
HEAD
Same as GET but returns only HTTP headers and no document body
PUT
Uploads a representation of the specified URI
DELETE
Deletes the specified resource
OPTIONS
Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports
CONNECT
Converts the request connection to a transparent TCP/IP tunnel

How do I know which HTTP Method I should use?

Always refer to your application's API Reference. A good, comprehensive API documentation will always mention the HTTP Method that is used for each HTTP Endpoint.
