Allow non standard HTTP verbs.

[thezim]

Web cmdlets do not allow non standard verbs. Any verb should be allowed.

[Mwiedmeyerd]

What is your reasoning, please?

Having non-standard verbs goes against the tenet of PowerShell discoverability

@Mwiedmeyerd in my case WebDAV. I wouldn't recommend removing the current enum, just some way to override it if needed.

Perhaps a new parameter set for -CustomMethod?

[joeyaiello]

Just to clarify, you're talking about the -Method parameter on Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod?

PS C:\dev\joeyaiello> Invoke-WebRequest -Method Default
Default  Delete   Get      Head     Merge    Options  Patch    Post     Put      Trace

I've just added a pull request for this. Would appreciate feedback as this is my first code pull for PS.

This PR adds the following to the Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod cmdlets:

• Adds new StandardMethod ParameterSet to the pre-existing Method parameter
• Adds new parameter CustomMethod with ParameterSet CustomMethod
• Defaults to StandardMethod ParameterSet

The underlying WebRequest generation will use either StandardMethod or CustomMethod, depending on which set is used. CustomMethod supports the pre-existing verbs defined in the WebRequestMethod enum

@joeyaiello Yes.
