hmAny

hmAny = 0

Example

function HasSpecificMethod(Method: TvxHTTPMethod): Boolean;
begin
  Result := Method <> hmAny;
end;

Usage

hmAny labels an unspecified HTTP method, but does not currently implement outbound dispatch or inbound any-method matching in Velox.

Additional Technical Info

hmAny is ordinal 0 of TvxHTTPMethod, with display text ANY. It is a Velox sentinel, not an HTTP wire method.

Outbound client behavior

TvxHTTP.SendRequest has no hmAny case, and no public TvxHTTP request method selects it. Use a fixed method such as hmGet or call TvxHTTP.CustomRequest with a reviewed method token. An attempt to reach SendRequest with FMethod = hmAny would perform setup and cleanup but no HTTP dispatch.

Inbound API and OpenAPI behavior

The name does not currently mean “match any method” in the Velox API Service. Stored action RESTMethod is not compared by TvxRESTManager at runtime; its handler executes GET and POST only, based on the incoming request. A configured hmAny endpoint therefore does not add PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD, TRACE or custom handling.

The request wrapper can return hmAny if WebBroker supplies mtAny, but that is classification of the host request value, not action matching. OpenAPI generation maps hmAny to a GET operation, while the admin endpoint list displays ANY. Treat that mismatch as documentation/configuration metadata, not proof of runtime method coverage.

The example only checks the sentinel and was source-reviewed; no HTTP, API, network, runtime or image test ran.
