The Request Method Type

Go Up to Determining When Action Items Fire

The MethodType property of an action item indicates what type of request messages it can process. The dispatcher compares the MethodType property of an action item to the MethodType of the request message. MethodType can take one of the following values:

MethodType values :

Value	Meaning
mtGet	The request is asking for the information associated with the target URI to be returned in a response message.
mtHead	The request is asking for the header properties of a response, as if servicing an mtGet request, but omitting the content of the response.
mtPost	The request is providing information to be posted to the Web application.
mtPut	The request asks that the resource associated with the target URI be replaced by the content of the request message.
mtAny	Matches any request method type, including mtGet, mtHead, mtPut, and mtPost.
