I am trying to sent a PATCH request from the client to the rails backend.
This works fine in FF/Chrome and IE10+.
The problem seems to be XDomainRequest. I am using jQuery and tried to just send a POST request and change it to PATCH with'X-Http-Method-Override': 'PATCH'
.
Unfortunately it seems that IE9 does not allow to set custom headers, since it does not show up in the HTTP Request.
On the backend I get errors, because the route for a POST request is not found.
I also tried appending _method=patch
to the URL params and _method: "patch"
to the request body, but it still doesnt work. Also I can not change the Content-Type to anything else than Plain/Text in IE9.
Is there any way to sent a POST request from IE9 and get it recognized as a PATCH Request by my Rails Backend?
