HTTP REPORT

The registered REPORT request method from the IANA HTTP Method Registry.

REPORT is safe and idempotent according to the IANA registry. Use it only when the target protocol defines its semantics and the intermediary chain supports it.

Request (http)

REPORT /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

REPORT is a registered extension method rather than a general browser/API default. Its registry properties describe the intended effect, not whether every implementation supports it.

Common mistakes

Assuming registration means that browsers, proxies, frameworks, or APIs support the method automatically.
