Re: [google-appengine] Support for HTTP Patch in URLFetch
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...
BR,
Seán.

You're right - it's not part of webdav specifically. That RFC extends HTTP,
though, so it's not a part of HTTP/1.1.

All this is doing is making a POST request, specifying a query string
parameter '_HttpMethod'. You can do this using urlfetch, urllib, or the
mechanism of your choice.
