There are a few ways to specify a method.
- If your client supports it you can use native HTTP methods.
- You can set the HTTP-X-Method-Override header.
- You can submit an input with the name _method
Any of these 3 approaches can be used to set the HTTP method used
by CakePHP internally, and will effect the result of this method.

switch ($this->_request->method()) {
case 'OPTIONS':
$this->_handleOptions();
break;
case 'POST':
$this->_handlePost();
break;
case 'GET':
header("MS-Server-ActiveSync: 14.00.0536.000");
echo "It works!<br>Your userid is: {$this->_userId} and your IP address is: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}.";
break;
}
