Comment (by nacin):

 [attachment:40886.2.diff] is only handles nginx oddies. It doesn't solve
 about a thousand other things that can go wrong.

 I'd pretty strongly argue that WordPress '''core''' should always only use
 GET/POST/HEAD and, as appropriate, the method overrides for any other
 methods. It's nice that the REST API server will accept PUT, DELETE, or
 what have you, but we can't expect servers to allow it. I wouldn't even
 wait for a 405, I'd just use the overrides.
