Why Query String ?method='PUT' is used instead of method='PUT'?

I can see in edit.jade file below line

`form(action="/articles/" + article.id + "?_method=PUT", method="post")

Why method=post is used rather than method="put"?. Why query string is used in this case? .

The only valid values here for the method attribute are 'get' or 'post'. On the query string it's specified that it's a put request. With the method-override (https://www.npmjs.com/package/method-override) npm package you can handle that request this way.
