According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html, the PUT method can create a new resource at the specified URI. As long as the server allows for that, of course. POST can be used to create a resource, if the URI that you are posting to follows the semantics of some sort of container. No doubt, you can use either to create a new resource. With POST, though, the server is responsible for the creation of the URI. With PUT, the client is responsible, and it usually not in a position to create a good URI.

You madify a resource with PUT, and create a resource with POST. You delete a resource with DELETE Henry not quite right. You madify a resource with PUT, and create a resource with POST. You delete a resource with DELETE
