Get the method number associated with the given string, assumed to * contain an HTTP method. Returns M_INVALID if not recognized. * * This is the first step toward placing method names in a configurable * list. Hopefully it (and other routines) can eventually be moved to * something like a mod_http_methods.c, complete with config stuff. */
