  1. Add support for X-HTTP-Method-Override header on REST requests 

    Sometimes a client cannot consume REST services using methods like PUT, DELETE or PATCH, due to browser limitation or firewall rules. Some frameworks provide a workaround using the X-HTTP-Method-Override header to override the method of a request. No change to the route configuration is necessary. The client of the API just informs the override header, and the ERRest library maps routes as expected. Keeping a RESTful API on the server side is the main benefit of that approach. No need for alternate / unRESTfull routes creation.

Scott Hanselman talked in more detail about that in [a blog post](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HTTPPUTOrDELETENotAllowedUseXHTTPMethodOverrideForYourRESTServiceWithASPNETWebAPI.aspx).
