Can you provide an example, because put should work fine as well?
Documentation -
The type of request to make ("POST" or "GET"); the default is "GET". Note: Other HTTP request methods, such as PUT and DELETE, can also be used here, but they are not supported by all browsers.
Have the example in fiddle and the form parameters are passed fine (as it is put it will not be appended to url) -
$.ajax({
url: '/echo/html/',
type: 'PUT',
data: "name=John&location=Boston",
success: function(data) {
alert('Load was performed.');
}
});
Demo tested from jQuery 1.3.2 onwards on Chrome.
