RESTful web services and HTTP verbs

Question

What is the minimum set of HTTP verbs that a server should allow for a web service to be classed as RESTful?

What if my hoster doesn\'t permit PUT

Answer 1

Today's web browsers only handle GETS + POSTS. In Rails, for example, PUTS + DELETES are "faked" through hidden form fields.

Unless your framework has some workaround to "support" PUTS + DELETES, don't worry about them for now.
