Cannot update a channel with the _method=PUT hack

[joelmukuthu]

When you try to update a channel's info i.e. PUT request to /channels/<channel_id>/ but instead sending a POST request with the _method=PUT hack, ASI throws this 500 error:

ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template channels/bkYfG20Smr35GSacyIhg8r.erb in view path app/views):

Rendering rescues/layout (internal_server_error)

However, updating with the normal PUT request works fine.

I'll have a look at this and see if I can re-create the problem locally, then we can take it from there.

I have tried this on cos.alpha.sizl.org/test and everything seems to work OK.
Specifically I have:

• logged in as an application and a user.
• created a channel:
  POST => /channels
• updated the channel name the regular way:
  PUT => /channels/, channel[name]=newname1&
• updated the channel name with the _method hack:
  POST => /channels/, channel[name]=newname2&_method=PUT&

All the above steps have worked as expected.
Can you confirm the exact urls and parameters that trigger the error?

thanks.
