What is the usefulness of PUT and DELETE HTTP request methods?
I have read a lot stuff about this but not able to get the conclusion on this topic. But I've never used PUT or DELETE HTTP Request methods. My tendency is to use GET when stat of the system(my application or website) may not be affected (like product listing) and to use POST when it is affected(order placed). Isn't it sufficient or am I missing something ? Gordon DELETE is for deleting the request resource: The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource identified by the Request-URI. This method MAY be overridden by human intervention (or other means) on the origin
