put

I want a link to update a resource, without using an HTML form. Routes : resources :users do resource :profile, :controller=>"profiles" resources :friends end Rake routes: user_friend GET /users/:user_id/friends/:id(.:format){:action=>"show", :controller=>"friends"} PUT /users/:user_id/friends/:id(.:format){:action=>"update", :controller=>"friends"} I want to use the put to update a friend by a simple link, something like this: <%=link_to "Add as friend", user_friend_path(current_user, :method=>'put')%> But as Rails meet that link he tries to go into the show action. The question is: what is

There are so many questions in SO similar to this, but none have fixed my issue. I've have an angularjs website hosted at http://localhost:49595 and I'm calling a Web Api 2.1 service hosted at http://localhost:63019 . I've enabled CORS on the web api server in web.config. Requests for GET /buildings/1 and GET /buildings/?$top=10&$skip=1 work fine. When it comes to PUT, I get the following error: { "Message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI ' http://localhost:63019/buildings/1105 '.", "MessageDetail":"No action was found on the controller 'Building' that matches the

We've tried numerous times sending update PUT requests to our Rails server and we keep receiving a 404 "The page you were looking for does not exist" Our update method is very simple (practically generic rails). def update @user = User.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully updated.' } format.json { head :no_content } else format.html { render action: "edit" } format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end When I run CURL from the command line to

I'm writing a large file > 7MB from an Oracle stored procedure and the requirements are to have no line termination characters (no carriage return/line feed) at the end of each record. I've written a stored procedure using UTL_FILE.PUT and I'm following each call to UTL_FILE.PUT with a UTL_FILE.FFLUSH. This procedure errors with a write error once I get to the point where I've written more than the buffer size (set to max 32767) although I'm making the FFLUSH calls. The procedure works fine if I replace the PUT calls with PUT_LINE calls. Is it not possible to write more than the buffer size

I don't quite get how the HTTP verbs are defined as idempotent. All I've read is GET and PUT is idempotent. POST is not idempotent. But you could create a REST API using POST that doesn't change anything (in the database for example), or create a REST API for PUT that changes every time it is called. Sure, that probably is the wrong way to do things but if it can be done, why is PUT labeled as idempotent (or POST as not) when it is up to the implementation? I'm not challenging this idea, I'm probably missing something and I ask to clear my understanding. EDIT: I guess one way to put my
