CouchDB uses the PUT requests to create new databases, documents, designs and views documents and it uses DELETE to (shockingly) delete records <http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/basics.html#request-format-and-responses>. WebDAV also uses the PUT and DELETE methods: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9>. The first draft of all the HTTP REST APIs I write support all the different HTTP methods but they usually don't make it out into production because not many people know about them. -- Myles Braithwaite | http://mylesb.ca/e -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
