Problem: link_to_remote with :method => :delete in Safari

I have just come up against a really frustrating issue with link_to_remote in Safari. What makes it more frustrating is the Rails dev site being down making it impossible to submit a ticket.

When setting :method => :delete on the link_to_remote helper, Safari sends a GET request rather than a DELETE. Firefox is fine with it.


no route found to match "/projects/13;delete" with {:method=>:get}

If anyone knows of a way to fix this I would be most grateful.
