Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
RFC 10008: The HTTP QUERY Method is now a finalized RFC on the Standards track, and the method name has been added to the IANA registry
So let's add it to python httplib too!
from http import HTTPMethod
HTTPMethod.QUERY
<HTTPMethod.QUERY>
HTTPMethod.QUERY == 'QUERY'
True
HTTPMethod.QUERY.description
''Query the target with the request payload.'
