=head1 NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::MethodOverride - Simulate HTTP Verbs
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.040
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package My::App;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';
sub startup {
my $self = shift;
$self->plugin('MethodOverride');
...
}
1;
=head1 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 C<HTTP POST> method with a method given by an C<HTTP>
header. It is also possible to define a query parameter for the same
purpose.
Any token built of US-ASCII letters is accepted as a valid value for the
HTTP verb.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
The default HTTP header to override the C<HTTP POST> method is
C<"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 C<undef>:
# A Mojolicious app, that enables method overriding
# by query parameter only:
$self->plugin(
MethodOverride => {
header => undef,
param => 'x-tunneled-method',
}
);
