Use ajax POST method with X-HTTP-Method-Override to workaround when you can't use PUT/DELETE/XXX

ajax_put_delete_workaround.js

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST', // Use POST with X-HTTP-Method-Override
    dataType: 'json', // Set datatype - affects Accept header
    url: "http://example.com/people/1", // A valid URL
    headers: {"X-HTTP-Method-Override": "PUT"}, // X-HTTP-Method-Override set to XXX.
    data: {"name": "John Doe"}
});

/* 
Some clients do not support PUT or other method beyond GET/POST.

When I was trying to implement a REST server on phpDesktop, 
the Mongoose server had problems accepting PUT, DELETE, PATCH
methods.
For these cases, you could use POST with a request header of 
X-HTTP-Method-Override set to PUT/DELETE/PATCH. 
What this tells the server is that the intended request is a XXX. 

PHP, check for $_SERVER['X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE']
