For some recent RESTful architecture development I was working on, I came across the need to to use Zend_Controller_Request_Http to check for other HTTP requests than POST and to also access the raw entity body of the posted or put request. To achieve this, we extended Zend_Controller_Request_Http and added the needed methods and then set the Zend Framework request to our child class using the front controller's setRequest() method. However, I think these methods should be incorporated back into the Zend Framework itself.

Patch follows...
