Description
This is in reference to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68903785/spring-hateoas-hal-forms-does-not-add-current-get-endpoint-to-the-template-secti and I just ran into the same problem.
The spring docu [1], code [2] & spec [3] don't line up. Not sure if it's a bug or just a documentation error.
The spec seems to say GET should be allowed [3]
The HTTP method the client SHOULD use when the service request. Any valid HTTP method is allowed. This is a REQUIRED element. If the value is empty or is not understood by the client, the value MUST be treated as an HTTP GET.

Research direction
Start with src/main/java/org/springframework/hateoas/mediatype/hal/forms/HalFormsTemplateBuilder.java around line 66, then compare its behavior with the linked Spring HATEOAS documentation and HAL Forms specification. Reproduce the output for an affordance using HTTP GET and determine whether the implementation or documentation should change; done means the behavior and documented/spec-defined method handling agree.
