HttpMethod Class
A helper class for retrieving and comparing standard HTTP methods and for creating new HTTP methods.
Namespace: System.Net.Http
Assembly: System.Net.Http (in System.Net.Http.dll)
The HttpMethod type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | HttpMethod | Initializes a new instance of the HttpMethod class with a specific HTTP method. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Delete | Represents an HTTP DELETE protocol method. |
| Get | Represents an HTTP GET protocol method. |
| Head | Represents an HTTP HEAD protocol method. The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server only returns message-headers in the response, without a message-body. |
| Method | An HTTP method. |
| Options | Represents an HTTP OPTIONS protocol method. |
| Post | Represents an HTTP POST protocol method that is used to post a new entity as an addition to a URI. |
| Put | Represents an HTTP PUT protocol method that is used to replace an entity identified by a URI. |
| Trace | Represents an HTTP TRACE protocol method. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(HttpMethod) | Determines whether the specified HttpMethod is equal to the current Object. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for this type. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equality | The equality operator for comparing two HttpMethod objects. |
| Inequality | The inequality operator for comparing two HttpMethod objects. |
The most common usage of HttpMethod is to use one of the static properties on this class. However, if an app needs a different value for the HTTP method, the HttpMethod constructor initializes a new instance of the HttpMethod with an HTTP method that the app specifies.
