A.
an X-HTTP-Method header as part of a POST request

B.
an X-HTTP-Method header as part of a GET request

C.
an HTTP ContentType header as part of a POST request

D.
an HTTP ContentType header as part of a GET request

Explanation:
The X-HTTP-Method header can be added to a POST request that signals that the server MUST process the request not as a POST,
but as if the HTTP verb specified as the value of the header was used as the method on the HTTP request’s request line,
as specified in [RFC2616] section 5.1. This technique is often referred to as “verb tunneling”. This header is only valid when on HTTP POST requests.
