http-client doesn't expose raw method

Version

• vert.x core: 3.5.1
• vert.x web: 3.5.1

Context

Trying to create a webdav client from vertx http client. I can't make request with non-standard method (PROPFIND, MOVE, etc.).

Please consider adding a rawMethod(String) on HttpRequest interface (Or any other mean to specify custom method).

[etourdot]

It seems already possible to handle raw methods on v3.5.1:

yourRouter.route().handler(routingContext -> {
  String method = rc.request().rawMethod();
  if ("PROPFIND".equals(method) {
   ...
  }
});

Yes. On server side. The issue is about vertx-web client : https://vertx.io/docs/vertx-web-client/java/

@ylemoigne is that something you could contribute ?

I think I can. Last time I was willing to contribute, I stopped at CLA (did not took the time then forgot). So let's start by this, can you give me again the link/procedure to sign it ?
