What I gather from Andy’s suggestion is that 501 could also be returned for the
reverse search queries that are not implemented (supported) on the server side.
That said, your observation of applying HTTP 501 to unsupported request methods
seems right. Not to muddle but wonder if we missed applying HTTP 501 correctly
in RFC 9082?
That is what I meant, but perhaps 405 is the more appropriate
response. Kinda annoying that 9082 went through 2 IETF last calls and
this wasn't caught.

AFAIU, RFC 7231 states that:
- 404 must be returned to signal that the target resource is unknown to
the server;
The 404 (Not Found) status code indicates that the origin server did
not find a current representation for the target resource or is not
willing to disclose that one exists
- 405 must be returned to signal that an HTTP method is unsupported on
the target resource but known to the server;
The 405 (Method Not Allowed) status code indicates that the method
received in the request-line is known by the origin server but not
supported by the target resource
- 501 must be returned to signal that an HTTP method is unknown to the
server
The 501 (Not Implemented) status code indicates that the server does
not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This
is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the
request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource.
Based on it, don't think rdap-reverse-search should add text to address
these cases.
As I wrote in my previous reply, the document had only to define the
server operation when the client includes in the request an unsupported
reverse search property or combination of reverse search properties.
In this case, the server must return 400 (Bad Request).
With regard to RFC 9082, my proposal is to remove the sentence in subject.
Best,
Mario
