Symfony recognizes four main http methods

Well, it turns out that Symfony gets loaded in all the methods except HEAD, as expected.

I tried:
-----------
GET
POST
DELETE
PUT
HEAD
OPTIONS

Symfony reported the method correctly in the ones that really matter, the first 4 above. In Options, it displayed GET as the method. In HEAD, it was never invoked, which agrees with the HTTP specification, so that's a good thing.

Well, that DOESN'T change the fact that PHP won't parse the body for DELETE or PUT requests and so there is no pretty access to the body. I'd have to come up with my own MIME/POST processor. Not going there :-(

So, I will use the POST for all PUTS, and probably most multiple DELETES. As I had originally talked about in a previous blog.

However, in Symfony, I need to deal with the crsf variable in the body of the request, and NO direct GET variables in the URL. Mr. Ponticier (creator of Symfony) has added an optional,standard POST/body-of-the-request variable for 'method'. I may or may not use that. Investigating now.

PS., one other thing that I would have to deal with is Symfony's labeling of variables, they already use the brackets for their use of an array of values for columns of a table.

And I tested once, PHP doesn't accept multiple sets of brackets for arrays of arrays in the names of POST variables.
Investigating.
