@astraluma I seem to remember that those HTTP verbs came in with the WebDAV standard, which came after forms/CGI-bin. WebDAV kinda died on the vine, and no one paid attention to those verbs until the rise of APIs two decades later.

@socketwench yeah, but I also hold the opinion that verbs are really cool and we should be defining more of them

@socketwench exactly!

I have no idea where SPONGE would be meaningful, but my lack of imagination shouldn't be a technical limitation.
