The method parameter of the open method says:
A valid HTTP method name. The GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and HEAD values MUST be
supported
Nowhere is the behaviour defined for what happens if the methods are not
supported, the current behaviour in those user agents who only support a
couple of methods - that of silently transformed into GET, is not much use,
and I would say very wrong.
Please change it to throw an exception on open if you use a method which is
not defined, or alternatively provide a property which is the actual method
going to be used, preferably the exception.
Cheers,
Jim.
