It would make more sense to have the HTTP method be a property of the request object, rather than set in the request's headers object.

Example:

request = http_request.new_from_uri("http://example.org/post")
request.method = "POST"
request:go()

lua-http follows HTTP2 convention where method is just another HTTP header.
