Support for *PUT Request Type

[jjacobs207]

Could HTTPAPI be enhanced to support the *PUT request type? Please elaborate on what would be required to do this.

[Scott Klement]

HTTPAPI already supports PUT requests.

Use one of http_req(), http_string() or http_stmf() routines. Whichever one meets your needs.

My version of HTTPAPI command does not support *PUT Request Type. How do you mean that the utility supports it?

[Scott Klement]

HTTPAPI added support for the PUT request type in 2013. If you really don't have a version capable of using it, then you are VERY VERY far behind and succeptable to many security bugs, you need to update badly.

For example:

Code: Select all

dataReceived = http_string( 'PUT: url: dataToSend: 'application/json');

I am using HTTPCMDR4. What is the current version?

[Scott Klement]

Ahhhh, you are using the command interface for HTTPAPI, that's why I didn't understand you.

The current version is 1.53

The command interface hasn't been updated to support methods other than GET or PUT at this time. It could be updated, but hasn't been -- not many people use it (which makes me sad.)

I can look into adding support.

I am using the command interface with the code behind only implemented currently for *GET and *POST. A version supporting *PUT would be greatly appreciated. I have an application requirement where APIs are called in a sequence of four steps. 1. GET. 2. POST. 3. PUT. 4. POST. Without the PUT functionality in HTTPAPI, we would alternately use 3rd party middleware to code the application instead. Let me know. Thanks!
