Extend jQuery AJAX shorthand methods by missing HTTP verbs

jquery.httpverbs.js

jQuery.each(['put', 'delete', 'options'], function(i, method) {
	jQuery[method] = function(url, data, callback, type) {
		// Shift arguments if data argument was omitted
		if ( jQuery.isFunction(data) ) {
			type = type || callback;
			callback = data;
			data = undefined;
		}

		// The url can be an options object (which then must have .url)
		return jQuery.ajax(jQuery.extend({
			url: url,
			type: method,
			dataType: type,
			data: data,
			success: callback
		}, jQuery.isPlainObject(url) && url));
	};
});
