/**
 * Common HTTP methods defined by the HTTP specification.
 * <p>
 * Each method is:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Either <em>safe</em> or <em>unsafe</em>: An HTTP method is safe if it doesn't change the state of the server. In other words, a method is safe if it's
 * read-only.</li>
 * <li>Either <em>idempotent</em> or <em>non-idempotent</em>: An HTTP method is idempotent if making a single request has the same effect as making several
 * identical requests. All safe methods are also idempotent, but not all idempotent methods are safe. For example, {@code PUT} and {@code DELETE} are both
 * idempotent but unsafe.</li>
