# method

This block is part of the [`http connection`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%20connection) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Returns current HTTP method for this request (e.g. `GET`, `POST`, etc).

- connection required `httpconnection`

- method `value`

Outputs the uppercased HTTP method of the request (GET, POST, ...). Defaults to "GET" when the connection is unwired or the request carries no method : it never emits nil.

A typical wiring for [method](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%2520connection/httpconnection_get_method): the `method` out pin feeds [convert to uppercase](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_to_uppercase).
