Find HTML verb for actions in rails

Question

Is there a way to look up the HTML for a given controller action? For example, I would like to be able to associate GET with index and PUT with update. I want to be able to do this dynamically based on the routes.

I can get the action methods for each controller using Controller.action_methods, but this returns a set of strings of action methods. Ideally what I would like is a hash of the form: {:action => :verb}.

Answer 1

:method is part of a :conditions hash you can pass in to map.connect

  map.connect 'post/:id', :controller => 'posts', :action => 'create_comment',
              :conditions => { :method => :get }

Answer 2

Read the rake routes task, that will provide insight:

e.g:

users GET    /users(.:format)     {:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}

I assume this is what you are after?
