No. The HTML 5 spec mentions:
The method and formmethod content attributes are enumerated attributes
with the following keywords and states:
The keyword get, mapping to the state GET, indicating the HTTP GET
method. The GET method should only request and retrieve data and
should have no other effect.
The keyword post, mapping to the state
POST, indicating the HTTP POST method. The POST method requests that
the server accept the submitted form's data to be processed, which may
result in an item being added to a database, the creation of a new web
page resource, the updating of the existing page, or all of the
mentioned outcomes.
The keyword dialog, mapping to the state dialog, indicating that
submitting the form is intended to close the dialog box in which the
form finds itself, if any, and otherwise not submit.
The invalid value default for these attributes is the GET state
I.e. HTML forms only support GET and POST as HTTP request methods. A workaround for this is to tunnel other methods through POST by using a hidden form field which is read by the server and the request dispatched accordingly.
However, GET, POST, PUT and DELETE are supported by the implementations of XMLHttpRequest (i.e. AJAX calls) in all the major web browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera).
man curl
:
-H/--header <header>
(HTTP) Extra header to use when getting a web page. You may specify
any number of extra headers. Note that if you should add a custom
header that has the same name as one of the internal ones curl would
use, your externally set header will be used instead of the internal
one. This allows you to make even trickier stuff than curl would
normally do. You should not replace internally set headers without
knowing perfectly well what you're doing. Remove an internal header
by giving a replacement without content on the right side of the
colon, as in: -H "Host:".
curl will make sure that each header you add/replace get sent with
the proper end of line marker, you should thus not add that as a
part of the header content: do not add newlines or carriage returns
they will only mess things up for you.
See also the -A/--user-agent and -e/--referer options.
This option can be used multiple times to add/replace/remove multi-
ple headers.
Example:
curl --header "X-MyHeader: 123" www.google.com
You can see the request that curl sent by adding the -v
option.

Using the
-X
flag with whatever HTTP verb you want:This example also uses the
-d
flag to provide arguments with your PUT request.
