determine the type of a request programmatically

Hello, I'm trying to find a way, by groovy scripting, to determine which is the type of a request in my project (PUT, POST, GET, etc.). I could only go as far as parsing the step and get its rest me...

    Hello,

    finally I found out the information.

    unfortunately, in the project under test, som PUT requests are, in fact, get requests so I have an additional test to do to determine the 'functional' role of the request.

    To get the rest method of a REST request step :

    testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuiteList.each
    {
    	suite ->
    	name = suite.getName()
        
        suite.testCaseList.each{
            TC -> 
            log.info "test case ****** " + TC.getName()
            TC.testSteps.each{
    
                if (it.getValue().config.type.equals("restrequest"))
                {
                    method_functional_type = "unknown"
                    method_functional_type = it.getValue().getRestMethod().getMethod().toString() // provides 'PUT', 'GET', etc.
                    
                    if (method_functional_type != "GET")
                    {
                        // do an additional check
    					// ie. the API /m2m/fim/items/fim:users:settings:manager/operations/getServerTimestamp
    					// it is a PUT request but it is senseless to not use the output                    
                        op = it.getValue().getOperation().toString()
                        if (op.split("\\/")[-1].take(3) == "get")
                        {
                            // the PUT request returns relevant data that has to be used
                            method_functional_type = "GET"
                        }
                    }                
                    
                    
                    if (method_functional_type == "GET")
                    {
                        if (TC.tearDownScript == null){
                            log.info "update teardown script for $name - ${TC.name}"
                            // if there is no teardown script available, set the generic teardown script for GET API's
                            TC.setTearDownScript('testCase.setPropertyValue("testResponse", context.response)')
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
