Why does Http only support GET and POST?

Teaching myself from the docs, it seems to me that the Haxe standard library only has a unified interface for making GET requests and POST requests.

This is my conclusion based on the HttpBase docs here: https://api.haxe.org/haxe/http/HttpBase.html:

This class can be used to handle Http requests consistently across platforms. There are two intended usages:

call haxe.Http.requestUrl(url) and receive the result as a String (not available on flash)
create a new haxe.Http(url), register your callbacks for onData, onError and onStatus, then call request().

Is this a deliberate choice? Why wouldn't Http.request() accept a string or enum choosing any of the valid HTTP request methods, instead of just a bool for post?

Slightly related: it is weird that requestUrl is documented on HttpBase, which doesn't seem to declare the method. I thought I would be able to use requestUrl on all platforms by using the haxe.Http typedef, but it doesn't work for node JS:

src/hiss/wrappers/HHttp.hx:35: characters 21-31 : Class<haxe.http.HttpNodeJs> has no field requestUrl`

I've updated HttpBase docs.
As for request methods I guess it's the legacy of times when other request methods were almost never used on the web.
We will implement better HTTP API during our work on a new asys APIs
