The server sends information based on the current configuration of the server, for example − The following example requests a list of methods supported by a web server running on − The client can specify a URL for the OPTIONS method, or an asterisk (*) to refer to the entire server. It is used by the client to find out what are the HTTP methods and other options supported by a web server. The connection is established with the server and the following response is sent back to the client − The following example requests a connection with a web server running on host − It is used by the client to establish a network connection to a web server over HTTP. The server deletes the mentioned file hello.htm and sends the following response back to the client − The following example requests server to delete the given file hello.htm at the root of the server − The DELETE method is used to request the server to delete file at a location specified by the given URL. The server stores the given entity-body in hello.htm file and sends the following response back to the client − The following example requests server to save the given entity-boy in hello.htm at the root of the server − The PUT method is used to request the server to store the included entity-body at a location specified by the given URL. Server side script process.cgi processes the passed data and sends the following response − Host: Content-Type: text/xml charset = utf-8 The following simple example makes use of POST method to send a form data to the server which is processed by a process.cgi and finally a response is returned − It is used when you want to send some data to the server. You can notice that the server does not send any data after header. The following example makes use of HEAD method to fetch header information about hello.htm − It is functionally similar to GET, except that the server replies with a response line and headers, but no entity-body. The following server response is issued against the above GET request −

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible MSIE5.01 Windows NT) The following example makes use of GET method to fetch hello.htm − This is the main method used for document retrieval. It retrieves data from a web server by specifying parameters in the URL portion of the request. It performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource. It describes the communication options for the target resource. It establishes a tunnel to the server identified by a given URI. It removes all current representations of the target resource given by URI. It replaces all current representations of the target resource with the uploaded content. For example, customer information, file uploading etc. It is same as GET, but only transfers the status line and header section. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should have no other effect on the data. It is used to retrieve information from the given server using a given URI. These method names are case sensitive and they must be used in uppercase. The set of common methods for HTTP/1.1 is defined below and this set can be expanded based on requirement.
