title: Are there constants for the Request types in Java
body: <p>I am using the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#setRequestMethod%28java.lang.String%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">java.net.HttpURLConnection</a> object to set the request method. I am about to construct an enum to handle the possible values but it seems silly this isn't already done. Am I missing something? Is there an Enum somewhere with all of these values?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>The Content Type can be handled with a JAX-RS class see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7854909/interface-enum-listing-standard-mime-type-constants">this</a>.</p>
