HTTP verb

English

Noun

HTTP verb (plural HTTP verbs)

  1. (programming, Internet) A HTTP method; any of a predefined set of words (such as GET, OPTIONS or POST) that are part of an HTTP request and indicate the desired action to be performed on a given resource.

Usage notes

  • Verb is a misnomer here, as not all HTTP method names are verbs (for example, OPTIONS is a noun).
