HTTP Methods

You call HTTP methods for resources in order to manipulate them. The REST architectural style has a conventional meaning for each of the HTTP methods, which are also called verbs. The methods are listed below:

HTTP Method
`GET`	Read information from a resource.
`PUT`	Create a new resource or update an existing resource.
`POST`	(Create a new resource *), send a command.
`DELETE`	Delete a resource.

* There is a subtle semantic difference between PUT and POST, which is sometimes a matter of dispute. IMI API favors

PUT for create and update actions and uses
POST for logins and for sending commands to resources.
