I’ve used a variety of python HTTP libs in the past, and I’ve settled on requests as my favourite. Existing libs had pretty useable interfaces, but code can end up being a few lines too long for simple operations. A basic PUT in requests looks like: payload = {‘username’: ‘bob’, ’email’: ‘bob@bob.com’} >>> r = … Read more
Just been doing that myself today… here is code I have working for me… $data = array(“a” => $a); $ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, “PUT”); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,http_build_query($data)); $response = curl_exec($ch); if (!$response) { return false; } src: http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2009/putting-data-fields-with-php-curl
HTTP verbs are probably one of the most cryptic things about the HTTP protocol. They exist, and there are many of them, but why do they exist? Rails seems to want to support many verbs and add some verbs that aren’t supported by web browsers natively. Here’s an exhaustive list of http verbs: http://annevankesteren.nl/2007/10/http-methods There … 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
The HTTP specification (RFC 2616) has a number of recommendations that are applicable. Here is my interpretation: HTTP status code 200 OK for a successful PUT of an update to an existing resource. No response body needed. (Per Section 9.6, 204 No Content is even more appropriate.) HTTP status code 201 Created for a successful … Read more

If you are using Alamofire v4.0+ then the accepted answer would look like this: let parameters: [String: Any] = [ “IdQuiz” : 102, “IdUser” : “iosclient”, “User” : “iosclient”, “List”: [ [ “IdQuestion” : 5, “IdProposition”: 2, “Time” : 32 ], [ “IdQuestion” : 4, “IdProposition”: 3, “Time” : 9 ] ] ] Alamofire.request(“http://myserver.com”, method: … Read more
To perform an HTTP PUT: URL url = new URL(“http://www.example.com/resource”); HttpURLConnection httpCon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); httpCon.setDoOutput(true); httpCon.setRequestMethod(“PUT”); OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter( httpCon.getOutputStream()); out.write(“Resource content”); out.close(); httpCon.getInputStream(); To perform an HTTP DELETE: URL url = new URL(“http://www.example.com/resource”); HttpURLConnection httpCon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); httpCon.setDoOutput(true); httpCon.setRequestProperty( “Content-Type”, “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” ); httpCon.setRequestMethod(“DELETE”); httpCon.connect();
I just found the solution, kind of answering to my own question in case anyone else stumbles upon it. $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://url/url/url” ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, “body goes here” ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(‘Content-Type: text/plain’)); $result = curl_exec($ch);
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
