Have a read here, I think this might be what you are looking for.

You can use the so called POST TUNNELLING method, that is using a POST request, putting the HTTP header X_METHODOVERRIDE in the request.

I'm sorry I cannot change the js part. It is sent here via $.ajax's PUT and data.
I don't think Django constructs any dicts for PUT and DELETE from what I know. Here is the reasoning: groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/django-developers/dxI4qVzrBY4/…
By the way, you could get the data from the request in request.body if you need to have access to it.
Could you give me an example that how can I parse the request.body?
You can inherit in Django the View class and override ...the dispatch method to have access to the request if you want; reference -> docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/class-based-views/base/…

You can see how Django constructs the POST data from request.body in the source code. You should be be able to do something similar.

Assuming the PUT data is form encoded:

from django.http.request import QueryDict def my_put_view(request): if request.method = 'PUT': PUT = QueryDict(self.body, encoding=request._encoding), MultiValueDict() # do something with PUT
