I don't think that it's an idea that anyone loves, but if you're dealing with clients that won't support anything beyond GET or POST (or might support a few more but still reject e.g. PATCH) you don't actually have that much of a choice... It's also common to support URL?_method=PUT. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
