CommonHeader is an enum of the most common HTTP headers

fn (h CommonHeader) str() string

enum Method {
	get
	post
	put
	head
	delete
	options
	trace
	connect
	patch
}

The methods listed here are some of the most used ones, ordered by commonality. A comprehensive list is available at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods/http-methods.xhtml

enum SameSite {
	same_site_default_mode = 1
	same_site_lax_mode
	same_site_strict_mode
	same_site_none_mode
}

SameSite allows a server to define a cookie attribute making it impossible for the browser to send this cookie along with cross-site requests. The main goal is to mitigate the risk of cross-origin information leakage, and provide some protection against cross-site request forgery attacks.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site-00 for details.
