Unsupported HTTP method: + method

Error message

Unsupported HTTP method: + method

What it means

Default branch of buildApiNodeRequest in HttpClientManager: the requested HTTP verb was not among the supported cases (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH), so no HttpRequestBase could be constructed. Indicates a programming/configuration error, not a runtime condition.

Solutions

  1. Restrict method values to GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH
  2. Fix the mapping that derives the method from plugin/tool configuration
  3. Validate the method string before invoking the HTTP client
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation
