The URLRequestMethod class provides values that specify whether the URLRequest object should use the `POST` method or the `GET` method when sending data to a server.

### Variables

###

`inline read onlyDELETE:URLRequestMethod = "DELETE"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a `DELETE`.

###

`inline read onlyGET:URLRequestMethod = "GET"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a `GET`.

###

`inline read onlyHEAD:URLRequestMethod = "HEAD"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a `HEAD`.

###

`inline read onlyOPTIONS:URLRequestMethod = "OPTIONS"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is `OPTIONS`.

###

`inline read onlyPOST:URLRequestMethod = "POST"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a `POST`.

Note: For content running in Adobe AIR, when using the `navigateToURL()` function, the runtime treats a URLRequest that uses the POST method(one that has its `method` property set to `URLRequestMethod.POST`) as using the GET method.

###

`inline read onlyPUT:URLRequestMethod = "PUT"`

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a `PUT`.
