HTTP Verbs for RESTful web services

[SparrowhawkMMU]

I think I may have raised this before but can't find the thread.

Presently, SpiderBasic supports just GET and POST HTTP methods (verbs).

However, this is insufficient for accessing RESTful web services that rely on the verb to determine what to do to resources at the server end.

As a minimum, we need PUT, PATCH and DELETE in addition to the existing GET and POST

See: http://www.restapitutorial.com/lessons/httpmethods.html

This goes hand in hand with the the need to be able to access the response headers.

I know that the current focus is on getting mobile working, but SpiderBasic is a basic for the web, and where data is concerned, the web runs on API endpoints, very frequently using REST.

So if these two areas (additional verbs and response headers) could be considered for a forthcoming release in the not too distant future, that would be very helpful. At the moment I cannot build a front end for a business API because of the lack of support for these features.

Please, please, please! Merci Fred.
