method 
Martini middleware/handler for handling http method overrides. This checks for the X-HTTP-Method-Override header and uses it if the original request method is POST. GET/HEAD methods shouldn't be overriden, hence they can't be overriden.
This is useful for REST APIs and services making use of many HTTP verbs, and when http clients don't support all of them.
Usage
import (
"github.com/codegangsta/martini"
"github.com/martini-contrib/method"
)
func main() {
m := martini.Classic()
m.Use(method.Override())
m.Run()
}

Overview ¶
package method implements http method override using the X-HTTP-Method-Override http header.
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const HeaderHTTPMethodOverride = "X-HTTP-Method-Override"
HeaderHTTPMethodOverride is a commonly used Http header to override the method.
const ParamHTTPMethodOverride = "_method"
ParamHTTPMethodOverride is a commonly used HTML form parameter to override the method.
Variables ¶
var ErrInvalidOverrideMethod = errors.New("invalid override method")
ErrInvalidOverrideMethod is returned when an invalid http method was given to OverrideRequestMethod.
Functions ¶
func Override ¶
Override checks for the X-HTTP-Method-Override header or the HTML for parameter, `_method` and uses (if valid) the http method instead of Request.Method. This is especially useful for http clients that don't support many http verbs. It isn't secure to override e.g a GET to a POST, so only Request.Method which are POSTs are considered.
