Are you sure you’re not actually doing a PUT via hidden form fields?

It works fine for me. Here is my code:
Pages#home
Find me in app/views/pages/home.html.erb
Submit
===
Test2App::Application.routes.draw do
root :to => “pages#home”
post ‘pages/test’
===
class PagesController < ApplicationController
def test
if request.post?
render :text => “post”
else
render :text => “other”
end
end
end
When I click the submit button, ‘post’ appears in the new page that
loads in my browser.
If I change the method of the form to ‘get’, and reload the home page,
then click on the Submit button, I get a Routing Error:
No route matches “/pages/test”
Then if I add:
get ‘pages/test’
to my routes.rb file, reload the home page, then click on the Submit
button, I get:
other
on the new page that loads in my browser.

Try this:
def test
render :text => request.method
end
render :text => request.method # --> ‘POST’
and yet
render :text => request.post? # --> false
rails 3.0.9
Yes, it is a put via hidden field,
but how did a hidden field got there in a first place??

Post the code that creates your form.

Okay. Web browser can’t really send PUT or DELETE requests. So rails
fakes it by putting a hidden form field on the page with a value of
‘put’ or ‘delete’. Then rails checks for that form field. I guess
request.method returns the actual type of the request that the browser
sent–not the type that rails pretends was sent.
