Hi Brian, The Flash player only currently supports GET and POST requests (and converts any POST request with a zero length body or any unrecognized request method to a GET). PUT and DELETE are not supported.
For HTTPService you can get around this limitation if your HTTPService has useProxy="true". In this case a request to build and send a proxied PUT/DELETE/OPTIONS/etc. request is sent to FDS and the server builds and sends the actual HTTP request and returns the response to the player. The proxy also handles fault responses in the 500 range and returns them to the player in a form that HTTPService can process usefully (the player doesn't handle responses in the 500 range). We have Pete Farland to thank for all that :) I'll log a doc bug to clarify that the extended set of methods are only supported when using the proxy. If you're not using the proxy, HTTPService uses a flash.net.URLLoader to make the request directly so you're limited to what the player supports.

The documentation for httpservice says it supports method="DELETE".
