## Includes

    #include <libsoup/soup.h>

## Description

soup-method.h contains a number of defines for standard HTTP and WebDAV headers. You do not need to use these defines; you can pass arbitrary strings to `soup_message_new()` if you prefer.

The thing that these defines are useful for is performing quick comparisons against SoupMessage's `method` field; because that field always contains an interned string, and these macros return interned strings, you can compare `method` directly against these macros rather than needing to use `strcmp()`. This is most useful in SoupServer handlers. Eg:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    if (msg->method != SOUP_METHOD_GET && msg->method != SOUP_METHOD_HEAD) {
    	soup_message_set_status (msg, SOUP_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
    	return;
    }
