Can I use HTTP PUT method?

[诚子]

Hi, I wan't use PUT method and DELETE method,to build a RESTful
service,how to get an PUT method and DELETE data?

[mdipierro]

I do not know for sure because PUT and DELETE are not standard http
methods. Try

request.vars
and
request.body.read()

Let us know.

They are, actually; they're just not used by interactive web browsers.

Hmmm....  check this page out:

CouchDB seems to support PUT.

You will need to do request.body.read() for PUT. Web2Py does not parse
the body of PUT requests.

Example:

Request:

PUT /test/default/ HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 21

blah blah hello hello


Output:

Body
"blah blah hello hello"

This could be changed but I do not know if put requests contain data
in body (as post) or url (as get). Can somebody point me to a relevant
rfc?

Probably this:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.6

I quickly skimmed through it and it seems that syntax is the same as with POST
with the difference that transferred contents must be saved under specified
path instead of being processed by some back-end.

Check if argument parsing with PUT now work in trunk. I think it does.

HTTP DELETE works fine :)

Check for it within your controller using:
if request.env.request_method == 'DELETE':

You can use this to test it:
http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/

I can't get the RESTclient to work with Auth though.
I see it send in the HTTP Header a line:
Authorization: Basic Zmxhdmetcetcetc===

I have set:
auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True
