# POST /books/4 --> { :controller => "books", :action =>
"update", :id => 4 }
If I understand Rails correctly, you are usually submitting key-
value pairs of a modified record, which is NOT identical to the
_actual_ row of the table. Thus, "POST" would actually be the
correct semantics for what you are trying to accomplish.
Most forms, in this context, give you the entire record and you then
use that to update the record. So it's
@book.attributes = params[:book]
When params[:book] will usually keep all of the attributes. At least
all of the attributes that's intended for the user to see/edit.
