1. Introduction
This document registers those Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
methods that have been defined in RFCs other than [RFC7231] before
the IANA HTTP Method Registry was established.
2. Security Considerations
There are no security considerations related to the registration
itself.
Security considerations applicable to the individual HTTP methods
ought to be discussed in the specifications that define them.

3. IANA Considerations
The table below provides registrations of HTTP method names that have
been added to the IANA "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Method
Registry" at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods> (see
Section 8.1 of [RFC7231]).
