X-HTTP-Method-Override in jQuery?

How can I do an X-HTTP-Method-Override for an ajax request in jQuery?

Solution

  • With 1.5 you can now pass in a headers option:

    $.ajax({
  headers: {
    'X-HTTP-Method-Override': 'DELETE'
  },
  method: 'GET'
  // more parameters...
});

    This is set before 'beforeSend' is called, so it could still get overwritten. See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
