HTTP Request Method and Common Properties according to RFC 7231
` use HTTP::Method;
# prefered instantiation
my $get_mth = HTTP::Method->GET;
# or from string
my $str_mth = HTTP::Method->new(uc 'get');
# testing
if ( $mth->is_GET ) { ... }
# introspection
$mth->is_method_safe;
`
There is a lot to say about HTTP Methods in [RFC 7231 Section 4. Request Methods] (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4). Most of the developers make the wrong assumption that it is just a 'uppercase string'. This module will help writing better code as it does validation and ensures right capitalization for the HTTP Method names.
As one could read in [RFC 7231 Section 4.2 Common Method Properties]
(|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.2)
HTTP Methods do have properties and can be divided in: Safe Methods,
Idempotent Methods and Cacheable Methods. These properties are just
predicate methods on a HTTP::Method object
