A simple `git grep allowMethod` on the master branch shows few definitions but not sure if it's actually called from anywhere (maybe some external lib does actually invoke it, don't know)

Hi Dražen,

I think that you actually spotted an API leftover. I don't think that
that method is needed, the best place for all checks is probably
executeRequest where  the service/API can decide if a request is valid
according to its internal logic.

But of course if we want to keep it we should at least check for the
HTTP method before we accept the request.

Would you please file a ticket?.
