[PATCH 3/3] uclient-fetch: Support for WebDAV methods

[Sergey Ponomarev]

Thank you Ellitott for the review,

I agree with all your points. I just made those changes for myself to
support WebDAV methods but generally speaking this is not an important
feature for anyone else.
So let's reject the patch.
The main problem is that any extended http method needs to be
pre-declared inside of the uclient and ideally this should be changed
to be more flexible.
But this may break backward compatibility.
