This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) methods which have been defined in RFCs other than before the IANA HTTP Method Registry was established.
There are no security considerations related to the registration itself. Security considerations applicable to the individual HTTP methods ought to be discussed in the specifications that define them.

Changes up to the IETF Last Call draft are summarized in .
Closed issues: : "registration tables should be inside IANA considerations" Clarified the IANA action to say "add". Updated httpbis reference.
Closed issues: : "IESG ballot on draft-ietf-httpbis-method-registrations-14" Removed misleading statement about "standards-track" RFCs, as some of the methods registered here indeed originate from Experimental RFCs, and furthermore the new registry established in Section 8.1 of uses "IETF Review". Updated httpbis reference.
