I still find it disappointing that <form> can only GET or POST.
@astraluma Like, you want it to PATCH, UPDATE, or DELETE?
@astraluma canceled HTTP verbs:
LIFT
HEADPAT
RAGEBAIT
SPOT
CARESS
@astraluma htmx addresses this well. Interestingly it’s community is thinking about how to get this addressed natively in browsers and the HTML spec.
@socketwench exactly
@astraluma I seem to remember that those HTTP verbs came in with the WebDAV standard, which came after forms/CGI-bin. WebDAV kinda died on the vine, and no one paid attention to those verbs until the rise of APIs two decades later.
@socketwench yeah, but I also hold the opinion that verbs are really cool and we should be defining more of them
@astraluma curl -X SPONGE example.com
@socketwench exactly!
I have no idea where SPONGE would be meaningful, but my lack of imagination shouldn't be a technical limitation.
