RFC2616 HTTP 1.1 section 4.3 states that "A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests."[1] The only request methods that mention enclosing an entity within the request are PUT and POST. So as DELETE, and everything else but PUT and POST, do _not_ mention inclusion of an entity in the request, it is safe to interpret this as meaning that PUT and POST are the only methods that allow an entity-body.
