I am working on a web api and I am curios about the HTTP SEARCH verb and how you should use it.
My first approach was, well you could use it surely for a search. But asp.net WebApi doesn’t support the SEARCH verb.
My question is basically, should I use SEARCH or is it not important?
PS: I found the SEARCH verb in fiddler2 from telerik.
The HTTP protocol is defined by RFC documents. RFC2616 defines HTTP/1.1 the current release.
SEARCH is not documented as a verb in this document.
AFAIK the SEARCH method is only a proposal and should not be used. Use GET instead.
