  1. Psychokinetically and Telepathically.

  2. By Post and Get?

  3. For those still reading: my friends filled in POST and GET, and I think that is a somewhat reasonable answer. However, you do not request an image through POST, it’s simply not the correct way. For that matter, there could have been four ways: GET, PUT, POST and DELETE. And that’s assuming HEAD is not allowed to return a body.
