No, you aren't. It's not exposed, but it should be easy to add
a webkit_uri_request_get_http_method() or something similar. Note that
to block requests, you need to use a web process extension and connect
to WebKitWebPage::send-request signal.
Feel free to file a bug report to request this, if you can provide a
patch it would be even better :-)
