I've seen lots of stuff that generally say "not all browser support all HTTP methods" etc., but is there a nice table that shows specifically which HTTP methods are support that's broken down by browser?

I see this previous question on SO but it's not the answer I'm looking for: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3218053/fine-grained-rest-http-verbs-browser-support

A: 

As of now, all browsers except IE have been fixed to support arbitrary methods. IE9 will do when in standards mode. Earlier IEs can use all methods if you use the XMLHttpRequest Active-X object (instead of the native Javascript one).

Are you serious? the newer native JavaScript XMLHTTPRequest object has less support in IE? - wow that is messed up!

scunliffe, indeed. "Security" misunderstood.
