- BrandoElFollito 4y agoHEAD, POST and PUT replacement are actually nice and better than the originals :) (at least for a non-native speaker of English). Why ALTERNATIVES for OPTIONS?
- artemissian 4y agoThey should ofc have used SELECT CREATE UPDATE DELETE SUBMIT and nothing more :D #TheWebThatNeverWas https://youtu.be/8JOD1AQGqEg?t=1240 https://youtu.be/8JOD1AQGqEg?t=1240
- Doctor_Fegg 4y agoStop trying to make FETCH happen.
- Lockal 4y agoNeed to consult specialists from Stanford, because word "Submit" is inappropriate! ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34039816 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34039816
- avx56 4y agoI just meant for display... :( Like it changes content-type to Content-Type, which shouldn't break anything right...?? HTTP headers are supposed to be case insensitive anyway right?
