Are custom http verbs supported by io.js yet?

[unbornchikken]

According to this issue: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3192

Because I'm having this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28899036/node-js-cannot-do-profind-with-request-module

In a nushell I cannot do a PROPFIND request in node/io.js.

Thus far, unless I missed it, I do not believe so. It's on my todo list to circle back on this but haven't had the opportunity (to be clear, I want to incorporate this into httpparser so that it'll be supported by both node and io.js)

Requires a version of nodejs/http-parser#158 according to that issue. Not sure if a new patch ever landed.

[jasnell]

Don't believe it did. I've since removed that particular branch because I fell out of date rather quickly. An updated fix would be quite similar tho. It's not too difficult to do just haven't had the opportunity to actually work on it.

Duplicated my SO answer here:

PROPFIND or any other verb is supported just fine for outbound requests in node and iojs. There is either something else wrong with your request (wrong/bad headers or payload for example) or configuration on the server.

Example of PROPFIND working:

// client.js
require('http').request({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 8000,
  method: 'PROPFIND'
}, function(res) {
  res.resume();
}).end();

// server.js
require('http').createServer(function(req,res) {
  // echoes "PROPFIND" to stdout
  console.log(req.method);

  res.writeHead(200, { 'Connection': 'close' });
  res.end();
}).listen(8000);

By the way, PROPFIND (and the other custom WebDAV methods) is supported by the HTTP parser at least since node v0.8. Outbound requests are not limited to a particular set of HTTP verbs.

Verified that this works in io.js.

Custom HTTP verbs not working on iojs 2.1.0
Custom HTTP verb means any string what I want

[jasnell]

Not yet. Once the new pure js http impl lands they should be, but for now,
the http-parser based impl supports only a fixed set of http verbs.

So need reopen and close, when will released version of iojs with new pure js http

[jasnell]

Closing. This is unlikely to happen at all with the http/1 implementation. The http/2 implementation will support any http verbs
