NAME Mojolicious::Plugin::MethodOverride - Simulate HTTP Verbs VERSION Version 0.001 SYNOPSIS package My::App; use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious'; sub startup { my $self = shift; $self->plugin('MethodOverride'); ... } 1; DESCRIPTION This plugin can simulate any HTTP verb (a.k.a. HTTP method) in environments where HTTP verbs other than GET and POST are not available. It uses the same approach as in many other restful web frameworks, where it replaces the "HTTP POST" method with a method given by an "HTTP" header. It is also possible to define a query parameter for the same purpose. A valid value for the HTTP verb in the header or query parameter is one of: GET POST PUT DELETE OPTIONS It must be specified in UPPER case. CONFIGURATION The default HTTP header to override the "HTTP POST" method is "X-HTTP-Method-Override". Overriding through a query parameter is off by default. These settings can be changed in the plugin method call as demonstrated in the examples below: # Mojolicious $self->plugin( MethodOverride => { header => 'X-Tunneled-Method', param => 'x-tunneled-method', } ); # Mojolicious::Lite plugin 'MethodOverride', header => 'X-HTTP-Method', param => 'http_method'; HTTP header can be disabled by setting to "undef": # A Mojolicious app, that enables method overriding # by query parameter only: $self->plugin( MethodOverride => { header => undef, param => 'x-tunneled-method', } ); AUTHOR Bernhard Graf "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-mojolicious-plugin-methodoverride at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
