405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED definitely makes more sense.
405 implies that the method is recognized but not supported.

Most of the unimplemented cases in AbstractProvider and
AbstractCollectionAdapter call ProviderHelper.notsupported(), which
returns an HTTP status of 415 - Media type not supported. So an HTTP
PUT or DELETE on a collection URI, or a POST to an Entry URI returns
415. It seems to me that something like 405 Method not allowed would
be clearer.
Thoughts? If there's consensus on this, I'll log a bug and submit a
patch.
