Glossary: System Design Basics in Java

HTTP request parts (method, path, headers, body)

Also written: method, path, headers, body, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

A request's first line has the method (GET read, POST create, PUT replace, DELETE remove) and path; headers follow as Name: value lines, then maybe a body such as order JSON.
