I saw the following at

The standard XMLHttpRequest object at the heart of Ajax functionality
only allows HTTP GET and POST methods, but RESTfully-designed web
applications often call for the lesser-used methods, like PUT and
DELETE. Until browsers support the full range of HTTP methods,
Prototype offers a compromise: "tunneling" those methods over POST, by
including a _method query parameter with the request. You can now
specify the intended HTTP method with the method option on all Ajax
functions (the default is POST). Methods other than GET or POST will
actually be requested with POST, but will have a _method query
parameter appended to the request URL. For example:
// Creates a POST request to /feeds/1.rss?_method=PUT
new Ajax.Request('/feeds/1.rss', { method:'put', postBody:myXML,
contentType:'application/rss+xml' });
Of course, the server side of the application must be written to
understand this convention as well, but if you use Rails, you'll get
the behavior for free.

Then I saw this at http://prototypejs.org/api/ajax/options
As a Ruby On Rails special, Prototype also reacts to other verbs (such
as 'put' and 'delete' by actually using 'post' and putting an extra
'_method' parameter with the originally requested method in there.

I was wondering if, like Rails, CakePHP had this feature?
