To my knowledge none of the major browsers support HTML forms using anything but GET and POST. This is a user agent issue; not a server issue. (Some frameworks use JS to intercept form submissions and perform them via XHR, which can use other methods.) I haven't had a chance to take a close look at your code, so I don't have anything to say about your attempts to use XHR.
