Hi,

I have a flex front end that is not terribly REST friendly. The flash
player (which flex runs on) doesn't support either the DELETE or PUT
verbs.

In the local development environment, which runs Rails 2.3.5, I get
around this issue by sending POST requests from flex that include an
X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE header of either 'put' or 'delete'. Rails
correctly identifies these POSTs as PUT or DELETE requests. (Prior to
Rails 2.3.2 it was also possible to instead include _method=put in the
URL, but no longer.)

However, in Heroku, the X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE header is apparently
lost or ignored somehow and Rails attempts to process these requests
as POSTs. (Heroku is also on Rails 2.3.5.)

Does anyone know why this is the case or - better still - how I can
simulate PUT and DELETE requests in the Heroku environment?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
