Hello! In my course of work as an API developer, I discovered that security of a server can be compromised when multiple HTTP methods (verbs) are permitted, specifically HTTP HEAD.

Therefore, I am strongly suggesting that multiple HTTP methods (verbs) be not allowed by default. Instead only the prescribed/specified HTTP verbs should be clearly defined and allowed on an API.

E.g.,
Only GET, excluding HEAD
Only POST, excluding HEAD
Only HEAD
