How to use PATCH verb with curl

Question

I am trying to make a PATCH call to a server. I am using the following command:

curl --data status=closed -X PATCH https://api.viafoura.com/v2/dev.viafoura.         


        

Answer 1

An alternative way is as follow, this is through a POST call though

curl --data status=closed https://api.viafoura.com/v2/dev.viafoura.com/pages/7000000043515?verb=PATCH 

I am guessing this is not a general way and only applies to this specific instance.
