+### HTTP Method Overrides
+
+`ServerRequestFactory::fromGlobals()` supports a `_method` request-body field
+or an `X-Http-Method-Override` header to override the request method. The
+header takes precedence over the body field. `_method` is removed from the
+parsed body. Use
+`$request->getEnv('ORIGINAL_REQUEST_METHOD')` to read the original method.
+
+Override values are converted to uppercase and must contain letters A-Z,
+optionally separated by single hyphens or underscores. For example, `patch`,
+`VERSION-CONTROL` and `CUSTOM_METHOD` are accepted; digits, whitespace, repeated
+separators and array values are rejected.
+
+Invalid values throw `BadRequestException` with the message
+`Invalid HTTP method override.` and result in HTTP 400. This happens while
+building the request, before the middleware queue runs.
