ActionController::MethodNotAllowed (Only get and post requests are allowed.)

I have a restful controller that when a uri of items/1/edit is displayed and then saved, I get that message.

The model is InventroyItem and the controller is InventroyItemsController. The routes.rb contains map.resources inventory_items The form uses partials and contains:

<% form_for(:inventory_item, :url => inventory_item_path(@inventoryitem), :html => { :method => :put }) do | f> %>    <%= render :partial => 'inventory_item', :locals => {:f => f} %> <% end %>

Any ideas?

Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem and I have no idea what's causing it.

Any solution.... I have a similar problem. But the error i get is

"ActionController::MethodNotAllowed Only get requests are allowed."

I had this problem a couple of months ago.... and found a solution. But for the life of me can't remember what it was and where i saved it.

Ok.... I solved the problem i was having. I had a typo in my form_for

this....

<% form_for @profile, :url=>person_profile_url, :html=>{:method=>:put} do |f| %>

when it should have been this

<% form_for :profile, @profile, :url=>person_profile_url, :html=>{:method=>:put} do |f| %>

Hope this helps someone.

Which version of Mongrel do you have?

I am using 1.1.5, which I think is the latest.

Hey I found something else...

It seems like when this bugs occurs (ie: when using an .RJS extension), there is a double request made to (or by) the webserver. But at the second request, all the form arguments are empty, which seems to cause the _method=delete argument to be lost and raises the MethodNotAllowed exception.

After erasing the log file and rebooting, here's the log of the error:

The method used is by default POST. You can also specify GET or you can simulate PUT or DELETE over POST. All specified with options[:method]

link_to_remote "Destroy", :url => edit_person_url(@person), :method => :get
