Enabling PUT and DELETE request in webservice

Question

I have a webservice that accepts bot GET and POST but when i call the webmethod using PUT or DELETE i get a response as

404.0 file not found

   [WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class reste : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    HttpContext httpContext;
    dynamic response;
    string result;

    [WebMethod(true) ]
    public void clients()
    {
        initialize();

        ClientServices cl = new ClientServices(httpContext);
        result = cl.processRequest();

        sendResponse();

    }

here is the response headers

I am not using WCF. From the response header it is also clear that server can receive PUT request — Sabareesh Kkanan, Feb 23 '14 at 23:38

It seems like you cannot do put or delete request on asmx webservice files so i have implemented ihttphandler and routed request with help of web config

Yes, you are using WCF. Your code is executed by WCF. Read the other answer and you'll understand and find your solution right there.
