REST development plugin for browser with all HTTP methods

Is there a plugin for any web browser that gives you a graphical interface for doing PUT, DELETE, etc.? I wrote a REST navigation application and I would like to play a little with my browser to try it and demonstrate the API, but since they lack DELETE and PUT, it becomes cumbersome.

There are several FireFox plugins available for this, including Poster and REST Client.

You can easily navigate by offering http://www.aminus.net/wiki/Okapi next to your regular site. It allows not only DELETE and PUT, but also any user-defined method. In addition, you have full control over the headers.

This is a "meta browser" that is not very good for a user or exec oriented demo. But it can help you see exactly what is sent and received, and debug problems faster. This is a great tool for other developers to open your non-HTML RESTful applications.
