Issue

While reading ticket #6283 and checking the source code, I realized that addHttpMethod override existing methods, including standard http methods.

Surprisingly, the name of the function does not reflect its implementation, nor does the documentation.

I wonder if we should do something about this.

Here are a few options:

1. At a minimum, document this behavior.
2. Disable the override behavior in the next major and add an alternative method (e.g., setHttpMethod or overrideHttpMethod) or option (e.g. override: true).
3. Perhaps a combination of both.
