Lib.rs

An Actix Web middleware that allows you to reroute POST requests to other methods like PUT or DELETE using a query parameter.

This is useful in HTML forms where you can't use methods other than GET or POST. By adding this middleware to your server, you can submit the form to endpoints with methods other than POST by adding a query parameter like /your/url?_method=PUT.

For example:

<form method="post" action="/path/to/endpoint?_method=DELETE">
  <input type="submit" value="Delete this item" />
</form>

See the crate documentation for details.
