I am getting mad. Here are two requests which should be PUT, but one is  
and not the other. I do not understand why. They come from two different  
forms.

Processing NodesController#show (for …) [GET]  
Session ID: …  
Parameters: {“node”=\>{…}, “\_method”=\>“put”, “action”=\>“show”,  
“id”=\>“251”, “controller”=\>“nodes”}

Processing NodesController#update (for …) [PUT]  
Session ID: …  
Parameters: {“node”=\>{…}, “edit”=\>“popup”, “\_method”=\>“put”,  
“action”=\>“update”, “id”=\>“251”, “controller”=\>“nodes”}

Any clue before I jump into the raw\_data ?

Are you on edge rails, by any chance? I’m seeing some weirdness  
introduced in the past couple of days, where ajax requests don’t seem  
to be having their method received correctly…

After searching in the raw\_data of the mongrel instance, I read  
“REQUEST\_METHOD”=\>“GET”, and _nasty me_ I saw that my form was :

 instead of .

Sorry for the trouble.

My error was related to a form tag missing the method=‘post’ attribute.  
I am doing a LOT of cleanup and froze rails to rev. 6633 so I can track  
my own bugs. I will catchup when my own code is stable.

You can look at the commit feed  
feed://dev.rubyonrails.org/timeline?changeset=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss  
to see if anything changed related to your bugs…
