Solution 1

This is a part of HTTP request, according to the standard on HTTP protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP[^].

The consumer of a Web service does not need to "know" it, because a consumer actually sends a HTTP request. Could you possibly mixed up these two parts? And the service part "finds it out" what the method ("verb") is from the HTTP request.

You are Right. I was wrong in stating my question. Suppose I have develope a RESTful service with 2 moethods, first is GetCustomer and second is a AddCustomer. Here method 1(GetCustomers)is a get method and method 2(AddCustomer) is a post method.
Now how the client or service consumer will come to know that AddCustomer is a Post method and GetCustomr is a get method?

Didn't I answer? it is defined in the client code, so client "knows" it in first place, and server received the "method" in HTTP request.
