web2py RESTful service - POST and PUT

[Kristina Nikolic]

Hi!

I'm making Android application which connects to my simple web2py application. I'm successful at making GET, POST, PUT and DELETE calls for table that I have made. However, when I try to make POST or PUT call for auth_user table, nothing happens.

This is my code for RESTful (I found it here: http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1533/restful-api-with-web2py)  :

@request.restful()

def api():

    response.view = 'generic.'+request.extension

    def GET(*args,**vars):

        patterns = [ 

                    "/mytable[mytable]",

                    "/mytable[mytable]/{mytable.id}",

                    "/user[auth_user]/{auth_user.id}",

                    "/user[auth_user]",

                    ]

        parser = db.parse_as_rest(patterns,args,vars)

        if parser.status == 200:

            return dict(content=parser.response)

        else:

            raise HTTP(parser.status,parser.error)

    def POST(table_name,**vars):

        return db[table_name].validate_and_insert(**vars)

    def PUT(table_name,record_id,**vars):

        return db(db[table_name]._id==record_id).update(**vars)

    def DELETE(table_name,record_id):

        return db(db[table_name]._id==record_id).delete()

    return dict(GET=GET, POST=POST, PUT=PUT, DELETE=DELETE)

Can somebody tell me why is that happening? Is it possible that I cannot make POST  and PUT calls for auth_user table?
