I want to build up a list of ways to cause HTTP submissions in a web document (HTML, Javascript, etc.) Here's what I have so far, with the HTTP verb(s) that can be used:

• A links (GET)
• FORMs (GET, POST)
• AJAX requests (All HTTP verbs)

Are there any other ways to submit things via HTTP in a web document? And are there any other verb(s) that can be used with the above methods that I haven't listed? In particular it would be cool if you could specify a method for A links - I'd like to have the browser submit a DELETE request for some of my A links which delete things.

Answer 1

I'll add

• JSONP
• Post/Get using browser plugins (Flash, Java, etc...)
