Interview Tip: HTTP Request Methods

HTTP methods are used by a client to communicate to a server. There are a lot of these methods, but here are the most common methods used:

GET - retrieves data from a server

POST - used to send data to server - like uploading a picture

HEAD - similar to GET, but does not have a message - only has the header

PUT - similar to POST, but the result is always the same for multiple PUT requests

PATCH - similar to POST and PUT, but only to partially modify a resource

DELETE - used to delete a specified resource
