[jQuery] DELETE HTTP method

[jQuery] DELETE HTTP method


Can somebody show example how to send via AJAX DELETE HTTP method
instead of POST, like this:
$.post( '/filial/del/', {city:$.trim(city)} );
but DELETE.
I tried:
$.ajax( {url:'/filial/del/', type:'DELETE',
data:'city='+encodeURI($.trim(city))} );
and:
$.ajax( {url:'/filial/del/', dataType:'json', type:'DELETE', data:
{'city':$.trim(city)}} );
but in django vie see that no any 'city' in POST or GET! Is this
possible? I don't see any DELETE in jQuery source...
