Do you mean that the :method => :delete option has no effect on the
server? The documentation suggests something different.

I thought the same thing, but rake routes gives me:
premises GET /premises(.:format) {:action=>"index",
:controller=>"premises"}
POST /premises(.:format) {:action=>"create",
:controller=>"premises"}
new_premise GET /premises/new(.:format) {:action=>"new",
:controller=>"premises"}
edit_premise GET /premises/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit",
:controller=>"premises"}
premise GET /premises/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show",
:controller=>"premises"}
PUT /premises/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update",
:controller=>"premises"}
DELETE /premises/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy",
:controller=>"premises"}
... which, if I read this correctly, means that the delete path is still
just called "premise_path" -- the same as GET and PUT, but using a
:destroy method instead.
So it still comes back to : how do I get link_to to generate a :destroy
action? I'm sure it's and obvious and stupid error on my part. (The
perplexing things is that I've done this lots of times before...)
