title: Why aren't the rest of the HTTP verbs used?
body: <p>Most of the times, websites mainly only use <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> for all operations, yet there are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods" rel="noreferrer">seven more verbs</a> out there.  Where they used in older times but not so much now?</p>
  
  <p>Or maybe is it because some browsers don't recognize the other verbs?  And if that's the case, why do browser vendors choose to implement half of the protocol?</p>
  
  <p><strong>[Update]</strong></p>
  
  <p>I found this article which gives a good summary about the situation: <a href="http://cafe.elharo.com/web/why-rest-failed/" rel="noreferrer">Why REST failed</a>.</p>
