Ways of submitting HTTP requests in a web document?

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.

Solution

  • I'll add

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