rewrites - support for http methods other than get

[mvording]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

It would be useful to be able to redirect all http methods using the Redirects feature (https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/redirects).

Usage:
/api/:path* requests sent to another server for all REST HTTP methods.

For server deployments this redirect is done by the ingress/load balancer, but for local development ideally next.js can redirect all requests to another application endpoint. This works fine for GET requests, but not for other HTTP methods.

Describe the solution you'd like

  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/api/:path*',
        destination: 'http://localhost:8080/api/:path*',
        methods: [ '*']  or [ 'GET','POST','PUT','DELETE'] 
      },
    ]
  }
