I have two named routes:  
map.edit\_setting ‘setting/:key’, :controller =\> ‘settings’, :action =\>  
‘edit’, :method =\> :get  
map.update\_setting ‘setting/:key’, :controller =\> ‘settings’, :action =\>  
‘update’,  
:method =\> :put

And I have to link\_to\_remote links:  
link\_to\_remote “Edit”, :url =\> edit\_setting\_path(@setting.key), :method  
=\> :get  
link\_to\_remote “Save”, :url =\> update\_setting\_path(@setting.key),  
:method =\> :put

But both link will trigger the :edit action. It seems Rails ignores the  
:method parameter when routing.

How can I map the same url with different method to different actions？  
Thanks!
