FWIW, that's my read both of the docs and of the code. Specifically,
in the Ajax.Request#request method, this code is not in a conditional
branch:
if (!['get', 'post'].include(this.method)) {
params['_method'] = this.method;
this.method = 'post';
}
You could modify your copy to allow 'put', but I don't know that the
rest of the logic would continue to work.
I don't know the reasoning behind this; I expect there was some. :-)
FWIW,
