What is the the most straightforward way of using all Html Verbs in a Restful ASP.NET MVC app?

Until now I have always just used post and get on my controller actions.

I'd like to use all of the major verbs in my app in order to [a] adhere to standards for rest, and [b] well, not use get and post exclusively.

The additional verbs I'd like to use are

What is the most straightforward way of achieving this? I know that all of the required verbs (other than patch) are available for [AcceptVerbs(...)], but I'm not fully sure how to implement them.

You can override the post method in the view as follows,

<% using (Html.BeginForm("MyAction","MyController",FormMethod.Post))
{

   %>
   <%:Html.HttpMethodOverride(HttpVerbs.Put) %>
   <%
} %>

Then in the Controller, you can have [HttpPut]

The easiest way is to use the MVC4 beta that was just released, and this includes the new WebAPI that will automatically do restful requests. You can even install only the WebAPI and use it under MVC3. It includes a go-live license as well.

However, if you're stuck with non-beta then you have to do a little more work. Here's a good rundown.
