+<p>HTTP defines a set of <strong>request methods</strong> to indicate the desired action to be performed for a given resource. Although they can also be nouns, these request methods are sometimes referred as <em>HTTP verbs</em>. Each of them implements a different semantic, but some common features are shared by a group of them: e.g. a request method can be {{glossary("safe")}}, {{glossary("idempotent")}}, or {{glossary("cacheable")}}.</p>

+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/GET">GET</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>GET</code> method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using <code>GET</code> should only retrieve data.</dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/HEAD">HEAD</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>HEAD</code> method asks for a response identical to that of a <code>GET</code> request, but without the response body.</dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/POST">POST</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>POST</code> method is used to submit an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server.</dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/PUT">PUT</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>The <code>PUT</code> method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload.</p>
+ </dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/DELETE">DELETE</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>DELETE</code> method deletes the specified resource.</dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/CONNECT">CONNECT</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>The <code>CONNECT</code> method establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource.</p>
+ </dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/OPTIONS">OPTIONS</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>OPTIONS</code> method is used to describe the communication options for the target resource.</dd>
+ <dt><code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/TRACE">TRACE</a></code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>The <code>TRACE</code> method performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource.</p>
