Let's add this to the agenda for the WG for discussion this week
Yes this seems very useful for being able to segment the performance of URLs that are used with different methods. REST APIs come to mind here.
For posterity, we had discussed this on the April 13th, 2023 W3C WebPerf Working Group call.
Summary:
The ResourceTiming API structure doesn't currently give us insight into what HTTP method was used to fetch a specific resource and/or make a API call. It would be great if the HTTP method used to make a specific HTTP request could be added to the ResourceTiming structure.
The major usecase where I see this getting used (and from where this idea came from) is to debug cases where a POST request would have additional latency/overhead over a GET request or vice-versa.
