If you develop your web application only for browser, you should go with post and get.

But e.g. REST-APIs should/could make use of the put and delete methods. So you could better define what action you want to execute on special resources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

taken from what's the advantage of using put and delete as opposed to just get and post
