For the best backwards compatibility (and to emulate the method value selection behavior below the typeof check), I think the undefined/null check should be removed and just test for truthiness:

if (options.method && typeof options.method !== 'string') {
  throw new TypeError('Method must be a string');
}

The reason being that options.method could be one of several non-truthy values, such as 0 and false.

In this case if options.method is set to 0 results in a falsy value which is going to default the method to GET in the following check.

@mscdex that would not fix the non-truthy values, confusing the defaulting of 0 values to GET.

Well, it's a difference between semver-ness. This change is definitely going to be semver-major as-is, but it could be semver-patch with the check I suggested. It's up to you.

method = self.method = (method || 'GET').toUpperCase();
if (!common._checkIsHttpToken(method)) {
throw new TypeError('Method must be a valid HTTP token');
}
