TIL: I shit you not – SPACEJUMP was once an HTTP verb

  ...and <BLINK> was a HTML element. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

    It never was. <BLINK> has never, ever, ever been part of the HTML spec or even the HTML drafts. At best, it was an easter egg.

      And SPACEJUMP has never been part of the HTTP spec. Nor (unlike <BLINK> in HTML) has it been part of HTTP implementations, AFAICT, at least, as an HTTP verb. The "SPACEJUMP" and "TEXTSEARCH" methods appear to be patterns for use of the GET verb.
