Browsers do support PUT and DELETE, but it’s HTML that doesn’t. For example, a browser will initiate a PUT request via Javascript (AJAX), but not via HTML <form> submission. This is because HTML 4.01 and the final W3C HTML 5.0 spec both say that the only HTTP methods that their form elements should allow are … Read more
The difference is that a PUT is for a known resource, and therefor used for updating, as stated here in rfc2616. The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the Request-URI. The URI in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity. That … Read more
I solved the problem with this: ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback ( delegate { return true; } );
I use the same scenario as you and use PUT for it. You have to ask yourself: “when I send the same request twice, does this make a different state on server?” If yes, use POST, if no use PUT.
You should use DELETE. What you intend to do with your data is called “soft deleting”: you set a flag and avoid flagged items from appearing.

You need to specify header as ‘HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’ instead of ‘X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’ i.e. add HTTP_ at the beginning of the header. header = {‘HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE’: ‘PUT’} response = client.post(‘/model/1/’, content_type=”application/json”, data=post_data_clean, **header) From the Django documentation: HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and … Read more
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
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
Quoting from the docs data – (optional) Dictionary or bytes to send in the body of the Request. So this should work (not tested): filepath=”yourfilename.txt” with open(filepath) as fh: mydata = fh.read() response = requests.put(‘https://api.elasticemail.com/attachments/upload’, data=mydata, auth=(‘omer’, ‘b01ad0ce’), headers={‘content-type’:’text/plain’}, params={‘file’: filepath} )
