In Request Method Tab, Break Methods into two different groups #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The groups should probably be "Safe Methods" and "Unsafe Methods", as described 
in RFC 2616: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

But maybe we could do Idempotent and not, but that doesn't seem as useful to me.

This feature may be appreciated by the advanced users. But the layman 
programmer may
be intimidated by terms such as "Unsafe". And then we will have the additional
overhead of explaining people Unsafe is a word explained in an RFC, so that they
don't assume something else. My opinion, keep it simple!

I still think there'd be value in making two groups:

Group 1: "Non-Changing Methods": GET, HEAD, TRACE, OPTIONS
Group 2: "Changing Methods": POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH

Oh, and that reminds me: we should consider adding support for PATCH. I'll add 
a separate issue for that.
