  • CONNECT - Establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource
  • OPTIONS - Describe the communication options for the target resource
  • TRACE - Performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource
  • PATCH - Very similar to PUT but makes a partial update on a resource
