Laravel: Route::resource() GET & POST work, but PUT & DELETE throw MethodNotAllowedHttpException

Question

I'm writing a webservice API (in laravel 4.2).
For some reason, the routing to one of my controllers is selectively failing based on HTTP method.

My routes.php looks like:

Route::group(array('prefix' => 'v2'), 
    function()
    {
        Route::resource('foo', 'FooController',
            [ 'except' => ['edit', 'create'] ]
            );
        Route::resource('foo.bar', 'FooBarController',
            [ 'except' => ['show', 'edit', 'create'] ]
            );
    }
);

So, when I try any of GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE methods for the
project.dev/v2/foo or project.dev/v2/foo/1234 urls, everything works perfectly.

But, for some reason, only GET and POST work for project.dev/v2/foo/1234/bar. The other methods just throw a 405 (MethodNotAllowedHttpException).
(fyi, I am issuing requests via the Advanced Rest Client Chrome extension.)

What's going on?
What am I missing?

For the ones who are using Laravel versions > 4.2 use this :

php artisan route:list

This will give the list of routes set in your application. Check if routes for PUT and DELETE are allowed in your routes or not. 405 error is mostly because there is no route for these methods.
