field extraction

Hello
i have this part of event :

"POST /posts/posts/explore HTTP/1.0"

i need to extract the part between "POST" and "HTTP"
which "POST" can be anything, for example "GET", "PUSH", etc.
also, the string between "POST" and "HTTP" can contain only 1 '/', for example "POST /search HTTP..."
what is the right regular expression for that ?

thanks !
