HTTP verbs

The four HTTP verbs supported by OpenEdge REST are associated with the four basic database CRUD operations, as shown in the following table.

Table 4. HTTP Verbs supported in OpenEdge REST URIs
HTTP Verb	CRUD Operation	Description
POST	Create	Create new item
GET	Read	Read existing item
PUT	Update	Add new item
DELETE	Delete	Remove existing item

The REST Expose Editor allows you to specify one or more HTTP methods for each URI resource name. After specifying the HTTP verb, you can associate the verb with a particular ABL procedure or user-defined function.
