83 1. Introduction
85 This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
86 methods which have been defined in standards-track RFCs other than
87 [draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics] before the IANA HTTP Method
88 Registry was established.
90 2. Security Considerations
92 There are no security considerations related to the registration
93 itself.
95 3. IANA Considerations
97 Appendix A provides initial registrations of HTTP method names for
98 the IANA HTTP Method registry at
