<usage>

<p>HTTP Methods that are not conforming to the relevant RFCs are normally

rejected by request processing in Apache HTTPD. To avoid this, modules

can register non-standard HTTP methods they support.

The <directive>RegisterHttpMethod</directive> allows to register such

methods manually. This can be useful for if such methods are forwared

for external processing, e.g. to a CGI script.</p>

<p>This directive may be used to register additional HTTP methods.  This is

necessary if non-standard methods need to be used with directives that accept 

method names as parameters, or to allow particular non-standard methods to be 

used via proxy or CGI script when the server has been configured to only pass 

recognized methods to modules.</p>
