Hi,

I am developing an API using CakePHP 2.1.1. I have configured the following 
route:

Router::connect("/api/accounts/:id",
  array('controller' => 'accounts', 'action' => 'edit', 'api' => true, 
'[method]' => array('PUT', 'POST')),
  array('pass' => array('id'), 'id' => '\d+'));

Then I have the following action:

public function api_edit($id = null) {
  if ($this->request->is('put') || $this->request->is('post')) {
    if ($this->Account->save($this->request->data)) {
      ...
    } else {
      throw new InternalErrorException();
    }
  } else {
    throw new MethodNotAllowedException();
  }
}

I am testing the API using curl. When using POST the action saves the data 
and everything goes as expected:

$ curl -i -X POST -d "data[Account][id]=1&data[Account][name]=FooBar" 
http://example.com/api/accounts/1.json
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

However, when using PUT $this->request->data is not populated with the 
submitted data but returns an empty array():

$ curl -i -X PUT -d "data[Account][id]=1&data[Account][name]=FooBar" 
http://example.com/api/accounts/1.json
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Both requests are entering the action and passing the check of 
$this->request->is(...). But printing the content of $this->request->databefore 
saving just reveals this scenario.

Any ideas? If not I'll submit this issue as a ticket.

Thanks!!
