Another option is to have a single method that accepts all and distinguishes between HttpMethod and calls the appropriate code from there. E.g.

            string httpMethod = Request.HttpMethod.ToUpperInvariant();

            switch (httpMethod)
            {
                case "GET":
                    return GetResponse();

                case "POST":
                    return PostResponse();

                default:
                    throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Unsupported HttpMethod {0}.", httpMethod));
            }
