At the time of reading your comment it is light gray. I am not sure why people are downvoting you... _method is a pretty important part of the rails routing and solves a lot of the proxy/server problems that people are mentioning. In fact, I would argue that things like put/patch/_method are what make Rails so great. Rails makes a lot of strong opinions (put, whoops no, patch!), but then at then end of the day always gives you a way (_method) to deal with any issues where their opinions may not work in your current architecture. This pattern appears throughout the framework and is one of the reasons I really enjoy Rails.
