put

I'm able to run the following curl command (at the command line) successfully: curl -XPOST --basic -u user:password -H accept:application/json -H Content-type:application/json --data-binary '{ "@queryid" : 1234 }' http://localhost/rest/run?10 Here is what I'm doing so far however it doesn't seem to be working with the REST service I'm using: $headers = array( 'Accept: application/json', 'Content-Type: application/json', ); $url = 'http://localhost/rest/run?10'; $query = '{ "@queryid" : 1234 }'; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

I have an ASP.NET (.NET 4) website that uses http PUT for an .ashx generic handler. The PUT call originates from a Silverlight front end. All works in VS 2010 on my local machine (Cassini web server). Then I deployed to an IIS7.5 Win Server 2008 R2 box. The silverlight/website is fine, but PUT calls to the .ashx handler are met with a Windows Login Prompt. This is a local intranet so Windows Authentication (with NTLM & Negotiate providers) is the only enabled authentication. Then I read this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joseph_fultz/archive/2009/07/23/enabling-the-put-verb-with-handlers-and-iis-7

I'm building a RESTful api using Zend Framework via the Zend_Rest_Route. For files upload, should I use PUT or POST to handle the process? I'm trying to be as consistent as possible with the definition of the REST verbs. Please refer to: PUT or POST: The REST of the Story The way I understand this is that I should use PUT if and only if I'm updating the full content of the specified resource. I'll have to know the exact URL to PUT to. On the other hand, I should use POST if I'm sending a command to the server to create a subordinate of the specified resource, using some server-side algorithm.

This is something that has been bugging me for a while.. I'm building of a RESTful API that has to receive files on some occasions. When using HTTP POST , we can read data from $_POST and files from $_FILES . When using HTTP GET , we can read data from $_GET and files from $_FILES . However, when using HTTP PUT , AFAIK the only way to read data is to use the php://input stream . All good and well, untill I want to send a file over HTTP PUT. Now the php://input stream doesn't work as expected anymore, since it has a file in there as well. Here's how I currently read data on a PUT request:

We have this software that has a webservices component. Now, the administrator of this system has come to me, wanting to import data into the system by using the webservices component. So, I went to read the documentation to try to figure this thing out and I am seeing things like this: Click here to see what I'm talking about (this looks best in firefox, chrome, & safari) That documentation gives examples of interacting with the system using HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. But in my limited experience, I have never had to send neither an HTTP PUT nor a DELETE. How do you do it? I

-- Question -- I am just starting out with the REST API and am getting pretty confused. This is what my PHP cRUL client-side looks like for a PUT. case 'PUT': curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT'); curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); break; Now when I look at the server my $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] shows PUT, but my question is how do I get the $data I sent with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. All I need to do is get the $data sent with a PUT request into the next line. Like $value = $data['curl_data']; I have seen so much clutter on this topic that it is giving me a headache.
