"Operation" here refers to one of the HTTP "methods".

One of:

* `POST`
* `GET`
* `PUT`
* `DELETE`

...and the more exotic ones:

* `OPTIONS`
* `HEAD`
* `PATCH`
* `TRACE`

In the HTTP protocol, you can communicate to each path using one (or more) of these "methods".

---

When building APIs, you normally use these specific HTTP methods to perform a specific action.

func checkUpdate(mode string) {
	updateURL := minioReleaseInfoURL
	if runtime.GOOS == globalWindowsOSName {
		updateURL = minioReleaseWindowsInfoURL
	}

	u, err := url.Parse(updateURL)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}

	if currentReleaseTime.IsZero() {
		return
	}

	_, lrTime, err := getLatestReleaseTime(u, 2*time.Second, mode)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}

    connection takes more than 10 seconds to complete, you’ll need to adjust
    the timeouts manually.
