[Feature]: Specify http method on page.route()

[andreaslarssen]

🚀 Feature Request

I'm new to Playwright, coming from Cypress, so I might have missed something here.
It seems to me that when intercepting API requests with the page.route() method, you're not able to specify which http method to intercept?
If it's not possible, I would very much like to see that implemented

Example

I was expecting to see something like:

  await page.route('POST', 'my/route', (route) => {
      route.fulfill(
        { json },
      );
    });

Motivation

It would make it possible to write cleaner code.
Am I missing something here? How are we supposed to mock two different request to same URL with different http method

You can do this:

await page.route('my/route', (route, request) => {
  if (request.method() === 'POST')
    route.fulfill({ json })
  else
    route.continue();
});

@Skn0tt Yes, and it's not exactly ideal. It leads to bloated boilerplate code. Seems like an easy fix to significantly raise developer friendliness?
