[jquery] jQuery Ajax PUT with parameters

It seems that using jQuery Ajax POST will pass parameters, but PUT will not. I looked at the current jQuery code and PUT and DELETE are not there. I looked at 1.4.2 jQuery and PUT and DELETE are there.

What is the workaround for passing parameters with a PUT request using the current version of jQuery?

For others who wind up here like I did, you can use AJAX to do a PUT with parameters, but they are sent as the body, not as query strings.

You can use the PUT method and pass data that will be included in the body of the request:

let data = {"key":"value"}

$.ajax({
    type: 'PUT',
    url: 'http://example.com/api',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify(data), // access in body
}).done(function () {
    console.log('SUCCESS');
}).fail(function (msg) {
    console.log('FAIL');
}).always(function (msg) {
    console.log('ALWAYS');
});

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.

Use:

$.ajax({
    url: 'feed/4', type: 'POST', data: "_METHOD=PUT&accessToken=63ce0fde", success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

Always remember to use _METHOD=PUT.
