std/net/request: allow attaching data to all http verbs

[yanndegat]

export http-request for low level http usage.

Note sure that's a good idea, it kind of breaks the abstraction barrier.
What are you trying to do that needs it?

[yanndegat]

well i'm struggling with the bitbucket apis, which can send data for delete verbs.

this kind of apis, which not necessarily respects REST conventions, exist almost every where
maybe we could expose all http-request options in all http-get/post/put/delete/patch func ?

[vyzo]

Yeah, that makes more sense.
Let's do that instead, I don't want to leak the internals of the http-request type as this will make it hard to change it without breaking user code.

LGTM

ok done.

now:

all methods (get,head,delete,put,options) have the exact same impl, apart from the VERB

(btw options & head use the same verb. shouldnt it be 'OPTIONS in the http-option fun?)

[vyzo]

[yanndegat]
