HTTP methods

HTTP methods provide the operations available on Rule Execution Server artifacts, such as create, read, update, and delete.

The following HTTP methods are supported:

Table 1. Supported HTTP methods
HTTP method	Description
POST	Creates a resource.
GET	Retrieves a resource.
PUT	Updates an existing resource. Does not create the resource if it does not exist.
DELETE	Deletes a resource.

When you use HTTP methods, consider the security aspects. For tighter security, some firewalls do not allow HTTP PUT or DELETE traffic. For information about how to accommodate this restriction, see Overriding security restrictions of HTTP methods.
