When I send this ajax rquest:

$.ajax({

            headers : {

                'Accept' : 'application/json',

                'Content-Type' : 'application/json'

            },

            url : 'http://localhost:8080/wutup/venues/12',

            type : 'PATCH',

            data : JSON.stringify({description: 842490812321309213801923 gonzagazors}),

            success : function(response, textStatus, jqXhr) {

                console.log(Venue Successfully Patched!);

            },

            error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {

                // log the error to the console

                console.log(The following error occured:  + textStatus, errorThrown);

            },

            complete : function() {

                console.log(Venue Patch Ran);

            }

        });

I receive this error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http ://localhost:8080/wutup/venues/12. Method PATCH is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods.

However, using curl:

 $ curl -v -H Accept: application/json -H Content-type: application/json -X PATCH -    d' {address: 8421 Gonzaga Ave}'  http://localhost:8080/wutup/venues/12
