WebView ignore Javascript that invokes PUT/DELETE Http method

Question

I have a web view that in it's HTML/Javascript makes an Http call with Put/Delete methods. those calls seems to be ignored (I test them on chrome and they work fine).

Any idea?

Here's the JS code that inside the WebView:

var req = new Backbone.Model(auth);

$.ajax({
            type: PUT,
            url: 'some_url',
            data: JSON.stringify(req)
        });

Note that this is an Ajax call from a jQuery.

Answer 1

have you tried

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);

Answer 2

The reason that the WebView ignored the call is because of caching. It seems that the PUT/DELETE calls are cached.

Here's what I did to solve this:

$.ajax({
    type: methode,
    url: 'some_url?d' + new Date().getTime(),
    data: JSON.stringify(req),
});

As you can see I added a new Date() object creation in order to overcome that caching mechanism.
