The conjecture that these methods aren't generally supported sounds plausible, but it would be good to have hard facts about the scale of the problem before creating solutions that might erode WebArch. I just did a quick test with my own medium-rent hosting provider, and it appears to pass through PUT and DELETE fine to cgi scripts (though OPTIONS doesn't list them, perhaps that's an issue).  I used a little Perl script and printed $req->cgi->var("REQUEST_METHOD") and it came out fine. Anybody want to start a Wiki page to hold test results?
