Okhttp PUT request to nginx server NOT ALLOWED

Question

I can't access json with PUT request on nginx web server, However same request with post request can by accessed!

String json = "{ \"key\": \"" + value + "\" }";

OkHttpClient  client  = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .build();

client.newCall(new Request.Builder()
                        .url(url)
                        .put(RequestBody.create(JSON, json))
                        .build()
                ).execute();


public static final MediaType JSON
            = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");

Update:

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "token: token" -X PUT -d '{ "uid": 123, "name": "Name",                         }' http://api.myserver.com

After some search i found reason:

You need to compile nginx with HttpDavModule Stackoverflow.
But i can fix my issue from client side by adding "_METHOD=PUT","PUT" to my json.
And convert PUT request to POST.

Header("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "PUT").

String json = "{ \"_METHOD=PUT\":\"PUT\",\"key\": \"value\"\" }";


client.newCall(new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .post(RequestBody.create(JSON, json))
                .Header("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "PUT")
                .build()
        ).execute();

Update

No need to add "_METHOD=PUT","PUT" to json on body.

Just convert PUT request to POST & add Header("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "PUT") made it work.

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT" -H "token: token" -X POST -d '{ "uid": 123, "name": "Name"}' http://api.myserver.com
