Add note about using 303 See Other for XHR requests other than GET/POST
IE since version 6 and recently Chrome and Firefox have started following 302 redirects from XHR requests other than GET/POST using the original request method. This can lead to DELETE requests being redirected amongst other things. Although it doesn't directly affect the Rails framework since it doesn't return a 302 redirect to any non-GET/POST request a note has been added to raise awareness of the issue.
