REST/Rails questions - support for HTTP methods?

Question

So I am getting this error for one of my routes. I'am running Rails v2.3.8 + Mongrel 1.1.5. Does rails support only GET & POST??

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

The route defined in my routes.rb is -

map.connect "#{base_url}/r/:id/rate?v=:value&u=:user_id", :conditions => { :method => :put }, :controller => 'mycontroller', :action => 'myaction'

Answer 1

It does not mean that Rails support only these two methods. It means, that route that matched request (by URL) did not match any controller method (by http method).
