The question may sound a bit naive or stupid, but i was wondering…will POST and GET evolve someday? What other methods exist besides those two?
I was wondering specifically about server-pushes… why can’t exist a method specifically for that? I don’t even know if there’s already something similar, and if there is, i apologize for my ignorance.
The web is evolving, that’s evident…will methods formally evolve too?

    What other methods exist besides those two?

    From RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1): OPTIONS, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE,CONNECT.

    I was wondering specifically about server-pushes… why can’t exist a method specifically for that?

    Google is experimenting with a protocol called SPDY that implements server push, among other things. They don’t use a HTTP verb, though, probably because these verbs are sent from the client to the server. Instead, they use a header, which is sent from the server to the client.
