I looked at HTTP protocol (RFC 2068), and I don't think so. These are
just two of seven HTTP methods (OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE,
TRACE). PUT is used for uploading pages and replacing them with newer
versions, and DELETE is for deleting pages. The setting in IIS4 for
excluding methods is for safety, so that scripts cannot modify or
delete files on the server.

I forgot to say, if I run http://127.0.0.1/posttest.r from browser, the
script runs forever because it's called with a GET request. If it's run
as a form action from http://127.0.0.1/posttest.html, it displays its
argument passed as POST request.
