http-put

I am creating a django rest api, and I'm trying to send JSON data via PUT request from an Android device, using HttpUrlConnection. URL url = new URL(myurl); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */); conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */); conn.setRequestMethod("PUT"); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8"); conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json"); Log.v("Apiput", MainActivity.cookieManager.getCookieStore().getCookies().get(0).toString(

Below is a program to upload a file from local file system to a remote Apache server. The program ends with a 409 conflict error. Is there any advice what am I doing wrong? I turned DAV on in httpd.conf and gave all necessary permissions, but I still had no luck. I can post the httpd.conf should it be needed. This is the code: BOUNDARY = "AaB03xZZZZZZ11322321111XSDW" uri = URI.parse("http://localhost/dropbox/") file = "/tmp/KEYS.txt" http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(uri.request_uri) request.body_stream=File.open(file) request["Content-Type"] = "multipart

I am designing a REST API and I wonder what the recommended way to handle updates to resources would be. More specifically, I would allow updates through a PUT on the resource, but what should I allow in the body of the PUT request? Always the complete structure of the resource? Always the subpart (that changed) of the structure of the resource? A combination of both? For example, take the resource http://example.org/api/v1/dogs/packs/p1 . A GET on this resource would give the following: Request: GET http://example.org/api/v1/dogs/packs/p1 Accept: application/xml Response: <pack> <owner>David<

How do you do do an HTTP PUT? The class I'm using seems to think it is doing a PUT but the endpoint is treating it as if I did a GET. Am I doing anything wrong? URL url = new URL("https://..."); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setRequestMethod("PUT"); OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream()); writer.write(xmlString); writer.close(); System.out.println(conn.getRequestMethod()); String response = readInputStream(conn.getInputStream()); System.out.println(response); Which is printing: PUT <same

I know HTTP PUT is an idempotent request that store something at a specific URI, according to the definition (quoted from the rfc ) The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI. But what is the definition of 'enclosed entity'? It doesn't seem possible for me to send form data (like for HTTP POST request) over. What about sending representation of the entity via JSON/XML or in other serialization formats? In short, how does one send a HTTP PUT request over to store/update info at a specific URI then? The enclosed entity is the payload data contained
