Description

As per http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/2-19-0-Rest-Producer-DSL-http4-support-for-PUT-workaround-td5799706.html

https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/camel-2.19.x/components/camel-http4/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/http4/helper/HttpMethodHelper.java#L64

The createMethod function does not take the http verb from the URI, PUT is transformed to a POST since there is a payload. Resulting in an incorrect http request being formed. The verb from the URI should take precedence.

There is a workaround of setting Exchange.HTTP_METHOD header as per:

.setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant(HttpMethods.PUT))
.to("rest:put:api/resource/resource.id")

HttpHelperTest is lacking coverage of http verbs other than GET and POST
