API PUSH and PUT misinterpreted as GET

[unde...@gmail.com]

We're having a problem integrating our SIS tool with Canvas via PHP. Whenever our code sends a PUSH or PUT command via CURL through PHP to update an account, the command gets interpreted as a GET, and nothing changes.

Our instance of Canvas is hosted with Instructure, but the server which hosts our PHP scripts are on a domain without an SSL certificate. Could this have something to do with our issue? I've looked through the API documentation, but can't find anything that references this.

If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Richard,

Do you mean POST, and not PUSH?

As for SSL, no, that should not matter since Canvas is not opening a connection back to your server.

Hi Cody,

Thanks for writing. Yes, I did mean POST and not PUSH. It's been a long week.

Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

You might check your CURL headers?

I do lots with PHP and the Canvas API, but allow educoder/pest to abstract away most of the guts of CURL. Here's what it does to effect a PUT.

(Minor plug: I build my open PHP object, CanvasPest that wraps around a fork of Pest, so I rarely, if ever, think about the actual CURL commands or pagination or what-have-you.)
