Link_to_remote IE issues (:method => :delete)

I have a link_to_remote that is using :method => :delete on a resource.
In FF the code works fine, I can see activity being sent to my server in
the LOG. But in IE I get no activity in the LOG. If I use :method =>
:put the link works, but of course I want to maintain a RESTful design
so when I delete a resource I should be using the :delete method.

Does anybody have any information on this? For whatever reason IE
refuses to treat the remote link with method: ‘delete’ in it as a link.

Upgrading Prototype.js to the latest version will fix it.

Cheers,
Nicholas
