Summary: The article discusses a new HTTP method called HTTP SEARCH, which is a safe request method that includes a request body. HTTP SEARCH was recently adopted as an IETF draft standard and is expected to add new tools for HTTP development. The article also explains the existing HTTP methods, including GET, POST, and PUT, and how they work. GET requests are used to request a resource and are safe requests that purely read data, while POST requests send data to a resource on the server and can change server state. PUT requests send data to a resource on the server and ask the server to create or replace the resource using that data, and they must be idempotent.
