rest - Django - Where are the params stored on a PUT/DELETE request?

Question

I'd like to follow the RESTful pattern for my new django project, and I'd like to know where the parameters are when a PUT/DELETE request is made.

As far as I know, I only see GET & POST QueryDict in the request, no others. Is Django adding a new PUT or DELETE QueryDict regarding to the request, or does it add the parameters to GET or POST QueryDict ?

Thanks for your help.

I am using django v1.5. And I mainly use QueryDict to solve the problem:

from django.http import QueryDict
put = QueryDict(request.body)
description = put.get('description')

and in *.coffee

$.ajax
      url: "/policy/#{policyId}/description/"
      type: "PUT"
      data:
        description: value
      success: (data) ->
        alert data.body
      fail: (data) ->
        alert "fail"
