How to send a PUT/DELETE request in jQuery?

$.ajax({

    url: '/script.cgi',

    type: 'DELETE',

    success: function(result) {

        // Do something with the result

    }

});

$.ajax({

    url: '/v1/object/3.json',

    method: 'DELETE',

    contentType: 'application/json',

    success: function(result) {

        // handle success

    },

    error: function(request,msg,error) {

        // handle failure

    }

});

jQuery.each( [ "put", "delete" ], function( i, method ) {

  jQuery[ method ] = function( url, data, callback, type ) {

    if ( jQuery.isFunction( data ) ) {

      type = type || callback;

      callback = data;

      data = undefined;

    }



    return jQuery.ajax({

      url: url,

      type: method,

      dataType: type,

      data: data,

      success: callback

    });

  };

});
