Form Validation on API PUT Verb

Is there any way to validate form fields using PUT? I normally do something like this in POST:
public final function update($id = NULL)
{
if($this->input->post())
{
if($this->form_validation->run('user/update')){...}
else
{
//Show view with validation_errors().
}
}
}
?>
But with PUT, it doesn't work:
public final function apiUpdate()
{
if(strtolower($this->input->method()) === 'put')
{
if($this->form_validation->run('user/update')){...}
else
{
//validation_errors() comes out empty.
}
}
}

Long live CodeIgniter!

I am sorry I personally cannot help with this, but this might be of use to you:

You need to use $this->form_validation->set_data() to pass the data to the form_validation library (or put the data into the post array as recommended by the link supplied by PaulD), since it only checks for post data by default.
