Why updates PUT only

Hello,

I just learned about update handler - really like them!

But why are they only usable with the PUT verb? That means they cannot  
be used with HTML forms.

thank you for reading,

regards, alux

Hi Cory,

many thanks! It's working!

Now I have to find out what (and how) to sensibly return to the browser.

Btw: Is there any reason why these updates are not controlled by the  
_rev field?

Thank you again & regards,

alux

They work fine with POST too, I think the documentation on the wiki is
just out of date.
