I thought a String was better than HttpMethods as uri param.

We had the enum to check into in our components.

- 4. `POST` if there is data to send (body is not null). +
- 5. `GET` otherwise.
+The following algorithm is used to determine what HTTP method should be used: +
+ 1. Use method provided as endpoint configuration (`httpMethod`). +
+ 2. Use method provided in header (`Exchange.HTTP_METHOD`). +
+ 3. `GET` if query string is provided in header. +
+ 4. `GET` if endpoint is configured with a query string. +
+ 5. `POST` if there is data to send (body is not `null`). +
+ 6. `GET` otherwise.
