Request (http)

REBIND /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

REBIND is a registered extension method rather than a general browser/API default. Its registry properties describe the intended effect, not whether every implementation supports it.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming registration means that browsers, proxies, frameworks, or APIs support the method automatically.
