I use the same scenario as you and use PUT for it. You have to ask yourself: “when I send the same request twice, does this make a different state on server?” If yes, use POST, if no use PUT.
If you are using HTML Form element instead Laravel Form Builder, you must place method_field between your form opening tag and closing end. By doing this you may explicitly define form method type. <form> {{ method_field(‘PUT’) }} </form> For Laravel 5.1 and above <form> @method(‘PUT’) </form>
You should use DELETE. What you intend to do with your data is called “soft deleting”: you set a flag and avoid flagged items from appearing. This is internal to your webapp and the user doesn’t have to know that you’re soft deleting instead of deleting or whatever you want to do. This is why … Read more
You need to specify header as ‘HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’ instead of ‘X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’ i.e. add HTTP_ at the beginning of the header. header = {‘HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’: ‘PUT’} response = client.post(‘/model/1/’, content_type=”application/json”, data=post_data_clean, **header) From the Django documentation: HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and … Read more
To get PUT and DELETE to be accepted by IIS 7.5 for a PHP 5.4 fast-CGI driven REST API I had to disable the WebDAV-module. Otherwise the WebDAV module intervenes the HTTP requests using PUT or DELETE. To get this working was however a bit confusing and I might have missed some steps or done … Read more
Quoting from the docs data – (optional) Dictionary or bytes to send in the body of the Request. So this should work (not tested): filepath=”yourfilename.txt” with open(filepath) as fh: mydata = fh.read() response = requests.put(‘https://api.elasticemail.com/attachments/upload’, data=mydata, auth=(‘omer’, ‘b01ad0ce’), headers={‘content-type’:’text/plain’}, params={‘file’: filepath} )
There seems to be quite a bit of misunderstanding here. PUT versus POST is not really about replace versus create, but rather about idempotency and resource naming. PUT is an idempotent operation. With it, you give the name of a resource and an entity to place as that resource’s content (possibly with server-generated additions). Crucially, … Read more
PUT $data = array(‘username’=>’dog’,’password’=>’tall’); $data_json = json_encode($data); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(‘Content-Type: application/json’,’Content-Length: ‘ . strlen($data_json))); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, ‘PUT’); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_json); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); POST $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(‘Content-Type: application/json’)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_json); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); … Read more
Here’s a C# example using HttpWebRequest: using System; using System.IO; using System.Net; class Test { static void Main() { string xml = “<xml>…</xml>”; byte[] arr = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml); HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(“http://localhost/”); request.Method = “PUT”; request.ContentType = “text/xml”; request.ContentLength = arr.Length; Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream(); dataStream.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length); dataStream.Close(); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); string returnString = … Read more
The java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap and from Java 8 Java.util.Map has putIfAbsent(K key, V value) which returns the existing value, and if that is null inserts given value. So if no value exists for key returns null and inserts the given value, otherwise returns existing value If you need lazy evaluation of the value there is computeIfAbsent(K key, … Read more
