- An interface specific to the HTTP verb (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) is
attached to each request object on ingress. The HTTP-verb-related interfaces are defined in ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` and are ``IGETRequest``, ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``, ``IDELETERequest`` and ``IHEADRequest``. These interfaces can be specified as the ``request_type`` attribute of a bfg view declaration. A view naming a specific HTTP-verb-matching interface will be found only if the view is defined with a request_type that matches the HTTP verb in the incoming request. The more general ``IRequest`` interface can be used as the request_type to catch all requests (and this is indeed the default). All requests implement ``IRequest``. The HTTP-verb-matching idea was pioneered by `repoze.bfg.restrequest <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.bfg.restrequest/1.0.1>`_ . That package is no longer required, but still functions fine.
