[users@httpd] Limiting HTTP Methods in general

Hi I am trying to limit the methods that an Apache server (2.0.X) will 
accept (i.e. POST and GET).  I've looked that the <Limit> and 
<LimitExcept> directives but they only seem to work in conjunction wtih 
access controls.  I want to set this server (or Directory/Location) 
wide.  Any suggestions?

Thanks
Erich

Why not simply:

    <LimitExcept POST GET>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all 
    </LimitExcept>

in the main config, or wherever?
