I added an enum with standard methods to HttpClient 5.0. It is
still in
my private branch on GitHub though. Please just bear with me a

longer. I'll commit that code to SVN as soon as HttpCore 5.0a3 goes
out.

FWIW, why have an enum for something that is extensible?
Enums are extensible, are they not? Just not at runtime.
Not for the *users* of the project, right?
Or, phrased
differently, what is your definition of "standard methods"?
Standard might well be not the best term. Please do feel free to
suggest a better one. By 'standard' methods I meant those specified in
RFC 7231, section 4.3 + PATCH.
I fail to see how these are special. The HTTP spec is pretty clear that
methods are an extension point, and that the source of truth is the IANA
registry, not a specific RFC. If you want to draw a distinction, you
could check the standards level of the RFC defining the method (but
it'll turn out that pretty all of them currently are at "proposed" state
due to the weird way the IETF defines it's standards).
