Ok So I have a simple node.js / express.js / mongodb app set up here with my config as follows.

var express = require('express'),
    mongoose = require('mongoose');
    http = require('http');

var app = express();

    app.configure(function(){
    app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
    app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');

    //middleware stack
    app.use(express.bodyParser());
    app.use(express.methodOverride());
    app.use(app.router);
    app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
});

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/hello");

The problem lies when I try to make PUT or DELETE requests. My form is this simple

<form method="POST" action="/users/#{user.name}">
    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT"/>
</form>

Now my router catches the route with the express .put() method

app.put('/users/:name', function(req, res) {

    var b = req.body;

    Users.update(
        { name: req.user.name },
        { name: b.name, age: b.age, email: b.email },
        function(err) {
            res.redirect('/users/'+b.name);
        });
})

When I make the request I simply get a "Cannot PUT" or "Cannot DELETE" error.

I have tried to make this same request via chomes RESTful client with the same result.

I have read a topic witch has the same problem as me although following the comments the answers did not solve my problem.

Questions I have looked into expressjs support for method delete and put without the methodoverride

Are the PUT, D
