Hi Nick, You should probably send this to google-appengine-python@ instead, then. >
Thanks - given that I've start this here, I'll finish it here. (I did look for the appengine python list, but could not find it easily - could I suggest that a pointer to the group be put in the welcome and readme for this group?) > I'm doing some work using the Salesforce REST API. This API uses the HTTP >> Patch >> command to update an object in SF. I note that URLFetch currently does not >> support >> Patch - any plans to support in future? >> > > PATCH is actually a part of WebDav, not HTTP. If you'd like support for it > added to urlfetch, you should file a feature request on the issue tracker. > I'm a little confused - Salesforce does refer to it as a HTTP command and this RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789 does give the impression that it is part of HTTP rather than Webdav. Any chance you'd be able to shed further light on this? > I think the solution is to use httplib2 - it's a bit clunky, however. >> > > Unfortunately, I don't believe this will work - httplib is just a wrapper > for URLFetch, so any restrictions that apply to URLFetch apply equally to > httplib(2). > This can work using the following (which I got from some SF examples): queryConn = httplib2.Http() resp,content = queryConn.request( obj_url+'?_HttpMethod=PATCH', "POST", headers= {'Authorization': 'OAuth '+access_token, 'Content-Type':' application/json'}, body=simplejson.dumps(update_fields) ) I have not looked into what happens under the hood, however...
