I can't figure out how the ajax method works. In my JavaScript (with
jQuery), I have

   $.ajax({
       beforeSend: function(xhr){
           xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
       },
       url: '/model/' + model_id,
       dataType: "json",
       success: function(data) {

           // do something with
       }
   });

and, in my App.pm, I have

   ajax '/model/:model_id' => sub {
       my $result = do something with model_id
       return to_json($result);
   }

however, the above doesn't work at all. I get a 404. If I change the
ajax method to

   get '/model/:model_id' => sub {}

then it works fine. Which brings me to the question -- what is this
ajax method supposed to do better than get or post? And, why doesn't
it work for me?
