I have a ticket on Lighthouse about a very similar problem (HEAD rather
than PUT) here:
https://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/707-cannot-make-a-head-request-using-ajax
Might be a good idea to add a request for PUT in a comment on the ticket. The
patch I submitted would be easy to adapt to allow both.
I have no idea why Prototype works this way but I'd guess just an
oversight.
