     18 # `--request`
     19 
     20 Change the method to use when starting the transfer.
     21 
     22 curl passes on the verbatim string you give it in the request without any
     23 filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.
     24 
     25 ## HTTP
     26 Specifies a custom request method to use when communicating with the HTTP
     27 server. The specified request method is used instead of the method otherwise
     28 used (which defaults to *GET*). Read the HTTP 1.1 specification for details
     29 and explanations. Common additional HTTP requests include *PUT* and *DELETE*,
     30 while related technologies like WebDAV offers *PROPFIND*, *COPY*, *MOVE* and
     31 more.
     32 
     33 Normally you do not need this option. All sorts of *GET*, *HEAD*, *POST* and
     34 *PUT* requests are rather invoked by using dedicated command line options.
     35 
     36 This option only changes the actual word used in the HTTP request, it does not
     37 alter the way curl behaves. For example if you want to make a proper HEAD
     38 request, using -X HEAD does not suffice. You need to use the --head option.
     39 
     40 The method string you set with --request is used for all requests, which
     41 if you for example use --location may cause unintended side-effects when curl
     42 does not change request method according to the HTTP 30x response codes - and
     43 similar.
     44 
     45 ## FTP
     46 Specifies a custom FTP command to use instead of *LIST* when doing file lists
     47 with FTP.
     48 
     49 ## POP3
     50 Specifies a custom POP3 command to use instead of *LIST* or *RETR*.
     51 (Added in 7.26.0)
     52 
     53 ## IMAP
     54 Specifies a custom IMAP command to use instead of *LIST*. (Added in 7.30.0)
     55 
     56 ## SMTP
     57 Specifies a custom SMTP command to use instead of *HELP* or **VRFY**. (Added in 7.34.0)
