These are used by WebDAV. If your server isn't configured to support
WebDAV, it should ignore those HTTP verbs.

Yes, if you're not using WebDAV.

I don't know if there really is one. CF will, by default, respond to
any HTTP request made to a CF URL, but it won't actually handle PUT or
DELETE unless you explicitly write code to make it do so. You can
typically configure CF to only support specific HTTP request verbs at
the web server.
