Retrofit dynamic HTTP methods

I'm planning to replace Apache HTTP client with retrofit in my project. The problem I'm facing is that retrofit didn't(I couldn't find) support setting HTTP method to request at runtime. In my Web Service I don't know what HTTP method to call in advance, so annotations @GET, @POST, ... are useless.

You can use Retrofit 2 for dynamic URL request with the new @Url annotation:

public interface CarService {  
    @GET
    public Call<ImageResponse> getPicture(@Url String url);
}

Then just also create @POST, @PUT etc. You are going to have to make the choice somewhere.

Retrofit is not designed for dynamic url requests. You configure retrofit with your API base URL then make specific requests.

For a more flexible dynamic option use out OkHttp. It is the HTTP Client used by Retrofit and it easy to work with.
