Is there a way to do a PUT with WebClient?

Question

with the WebClient class in .NET 4.0, is there a way to do a PUT?

I know you can do a GET with DownloadString() and a POST with UploadString(), but is there a method or property that lets you do a PUT?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are overloads for UploadString that let you specify the method. For example, this one takes a Uri, a string for the method, and a string for the data.

Answer 2

You can use webclient.UploadString(urlwithparams,"Put","")

url with params should include the params in querystring format ... urlwithparams = www.foo.com?key=value&key2=value2

This worked for me...

Answer 3

Huh? As stated on MS's website WebClient.UploadData does take the method (as a string) too right? Or am I missing something?

Answer 4

I don't think that WebClient can do it. However, you can use the HttpWebrequest class to perform a put request.
