Description

Today HTTP clients do tend to guess if they should use GET or POST etc. And you can override this with a message header. But it would also be good to specify that explicit as an uri parameter,

Today you have to do

from("direct:start")
  .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant(org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpMethods.POST))
  .to("http4://www.google.com")
  .to("mock:results");

But it would be good if you can do

from("direct:start")
  .to("http4://www.google.com?httpMethod=POST")
  .to("mock:results");
