Which HTTP methods match up to which CRUD methods?

In RESTful style programming, we should use HTTP methods as our building blocks. I'm a little confused though which methods match up to the classic CRUD methods. GET/Read and DELETE/Delete are obvious enough.

However, what is the difference between PUT/POST? Do they match one to one with Create and Update?

Generally speaking, this is the pattern I use:

  • HTTP GET - SELECT/Request
  • HTTP PUT - UPDATE
  • HTTP POST - INSERT/Create
  • HTTP DELETE - DELETE
