Okay. Web browser can't really send PUT or DELETE requests. So rails
fakes it by putting a hidden form field on the page with a value of
'put' or 'delete'. Then rails checks for that form field. I guess
request.method returns the actual type of the request that the browser
sent--not the type that rails fakes.
