apache has implemented method handling by hardcoded parameters in 
/include/httpd.h
#define M_GET                   0       /* RFC 2616: HTTP */
#define M_PUT                   1       /*  :             */

#define M_OPTIONS               5
#define M_TRACE                 6       /* RFC 2616: HTTP */
#define M_PATCH                 7       /* no rfc(!)  ### remove this one? */

where the modules/http/http_protocol.c binds each of the aforementioned methods 
AP_DECLARE(void) ap_method_registry_init(apr_pool_t *p)
{
    methods_registry = apr_hash_make(p);
    apr_pool_cleanup_register(p, NULL,
                              ap_method_registry_destroy,
                              apr_pool_cleanup_null);

    /* put all the standard methods into the registry hash to ease the
       mapping operations between name and number */
    register_one_method(p, "GET", M_GET);
    register_one_method(p, "PUT", M_PUT);
    register_one_method(p, "POST", M_POST);
    register_one_method(p, "DELETE", M_DELETE);
    register_one_method(p, "CONNECT", M_CONNECT);
    register_one_method(p, "OPTIONS", M_OPTIONS);
    register_one_method(p, "TRACE", M_TRACE);
    register_one_method(p, "PATCH", M_PATCH);
    register_one_method(p, "PROPFIND", M_PROPFIND);
    register_one_method(p, "PROPPATCH", M_PROPPATCH);
    register_one_method(p, "MKCOL", M_MKCOL);
    register_one_method(p, "COPY", M_COPY);
    register_one_method(p, "MOVE", M_MOVE);
    register_one_method(p, "LOCK", M_LOCK);
    register_one_method(p, "UNLOCK", M_UNLOCK);
    register_one_method(p, "VERSION-CONTROL", M_VERSION_CONTROL);
    register_one_method(p, "CHECKOUT", M_CHECKOUT);

    register_one_method(p, "BASELINE-CONTROL", M_BASELINE_CONTROL);
    register_one_method(p, "MERGE", M_MERGE);
}

//even if you comment out these hardcoded method assignments you still have to 
put a patch in for /modules/generators/mod_cgi.c
static int log_script(request_rec *r, cgi_server_conf * conf, int ret,
                      char *dbuf, const char *sbuf, apr_bucket_brigade *bb, 
                      apr_file_t *script_err)
......
    if ((r->method_number == M_POST || r->method_number == M_PUT) &&
        *dbuf) {
        apr_file_printf(f, "\n%s\n", dbuf);
    }
.....

ping me offline as this is definitely not related to TC 
but allows one to compare requisite functionality between TC and Apache
