Mindquarry has a filter that covers the first part, so ?http-X-HTTP-
Method-header=PUT would be changed to the corresponding header (our
pattern is http-(.*)-header), so all you have to do is adding a hidden
field like
<input name="http-X-HTTP-Method-header" value="PUT"> to your form. An
even more easy to use solution would be the introduction of a
<sling:form> JSP tag, that would insert this hidden field
automatically for if the method of the form was not GET or POST.

At least with µjax we have more control over the client than with
standard web forms, and even then, a concatenation of two
ServletFilters* and a hidden field could make a POST request into a
PUT request. So the server-side development can clearly separate the
concepts.
* ServletFilters: 1st changes Request-Parameters with a certain
naming
pattern into request headers. This overcomes the disability of web
browsers to set headers programatically.
2nd uses a header like X-HTTP-Method to override the HTTP method.
Sounds like proper separation of concern. For maximum ease of use, I
would assume the same names acceptable for the parameters in the first
filter as are used for the request header in the second filter.

Why not use something like custom headers like X-HTTP-Method and a
servlet filter to wrap PUTs in POSTs?
As we control the client API, this is a cleaner way to do this
IMHO.
but we do not control the client. the goal is to use simple html
forms...
That is only partly true of course: We define a protocol to use when
sending data or requesting content to be stored or created. So, if
we
require a specific parameter (agreed, that headers more involved and
won't work with simple forms), it is just part of the protocol...
