Build Identifier: 4.0b7pre (built from trunk as of 2010-09-20)

When using method=PUT on a form, the URI being accessed uses the same encoding as for GET (form fields as query parameters), instead of the one defined for POST (payload).

See spec at http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#submit-put-action

The link in comment 0 doesn't go to a useful part of the spec; I assume you meant to link to the table in step 15 of section 4.10.21.3?

Yes, sorry. Should have been more specific.
OS: Windows 7 → All

Version: unspecified → Trunk
Note that with http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10671, support for PUT and DELETE in forms has been removed from HTML5.
