java.lang.Object
- io.airlift.jaxrs.OverrideMethodFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestFilter
```
@Provider
@PreMatching
public class OverrideMethodFilter
extends Object
implements javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestFilter
```
Allows for overriding the request method via a special header or query param when using POST. It can be useful when testing from a browser that does not support PUT or DELETE.
Clients may override the HTTP method by setting either the X-HTTP-Method-Override header or the _method form or query parameter in a POST. If both the X-HTTP-Method-Override header and _method parameter are present in the request then the X-HTTP-Method-Override header will be used.
