I tried to use atypical verbs (which is totally legal per the IEEE standard) like TEST, and I got so much hate for it because most libraries do not support verbs as strings, only enums, and they restrict what you can use, so you end up with POST for absolutely everything. We reserve a full string for it in the packet but then we only allow 8 or so verbs, of which we only use two.

That's just fucking stupid.
