Re: request says put instead of post

Just wasted 20 minutes on this and figured I'd post a solution for those that google this problem.

It seems that this is a Cake "feature" that won't be fixed (even though it creates more work than v1.3):
http://cakephp.lighthouseapp.com/projects/42648/tickets/2528-request-type-put-instead-of-post

So either use Mark's workaround from the above link, or what I did was change my "create" call to force POST:
$this->Form->create('Blah', array('type' => 'post'));

scratch that - recordExists is true, therefore created is true and the
action is not submitted in the options array (which is optional after
all!).
but that should not result in a put afaik.
at least not if the documentation states that we should check with the
above if statement

I would expect POST to be set if PUT is set (as PUT is usually a sub-
part of POST). or ALWAYS set POST.
