Backbone model.save() is causing POST not PUT

Question

I have a Backbone model:

var User = Backbone.Model.extend({
  idAttribute: \'_id\',

  url: \'/api/user\',

  defaults:
    { username: \'\'
    }
});
         


        

Answer 1

It may be worth checking if maybe emulateHTTP is true. This will change all your PUT into POST with an added _method header (you may also want to check that this exists to confirm the idea).
