Don't we need something like do_QUERY in HTTP client etcs? please also check if we need tests for that.

We have these do_ methods in server, not in the client. And we do not need to add QUERY there, we have this code

cpython/Lib/http/server.py

Line 455 in 1051384

mname = 'do_' + self.command

that automatically parses the method names. We also do not have explicit methods there for do_DELETE and so on.
