If I recall correctly, that just sets up whether you will support GET  
and  
POST. I could be mistaken, however…

It allows to cache smal POST requests:

```
client_max_body_size 1k;
client_body_buffer_size 1k;
client_body_in_single_buffer on;

fastcgi_cache_methods POST;
fastcgi_cache zone;
fastcgi_cache_key "backend$request_uri $request_body";

```
