- Trying to use an HTTP method name string such as ``GET`` as a

  ``request_type`` predicate caused a startup time failure when it was
  encountered in imperative configuration or in a decorator (symptom:
  ``Type Error: Required specification must be a specification``).
  This now works again, although ``request_method`` is a more modern
  predicate.
