Hi Jacque, Are you able to watch your network traffic, eg using WireShark? I've often found this was the quickest way to figure out what was going wrong with a network issue with LiveCode - especially if I have the benefit of an alternative that worked, so I can see exactly what is sent in a request that works, and what's been sent by LiveCode that doesn't work? FWIW, this is what LiveCode (or rather, LibURL) sends across the network for the following LiveCode commands put URL http://www.google.com/test/?x=123; into x GET /test/?x=123 HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com User-Agent: LiveCode (MacOS) post 123 to URL http://www.google.com/test/; POST /test/ HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com User-Agent: LiveCode (MacOS) Content-Length: 3 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 123 put 123 into URL http://www.google.com/test/; PUT /test/ HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com User-Agent: LiveCode (MacOS) Content-Length: 3 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 123 ... but really the interesting question is what the request (and response) look like when your server person does it from Rails.

You can use query strings in POST, DELETE, GET or PUT. The query string is just part of the URL you are sending. Rails will parse what is in the query string and make those variables available to the Rails app. Your issue seems to be purely authorization related at this point. If you get stuck figuring out authorization let me know. If the URL is https then I wouldn't be surprised if you could just use BASIC AUTH in the header since all of the data is encrypted. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems www.clarify-it.com-www.screensteps.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Communicate with server using PUT
I have had trouble with PUT. I worked with the ISP to make sure it was enabled. I set up the right access file permissions. I made sure to put the name and password in the URL. And failure. So, either there was some overriding setting at the ISP that blocked things or either me or liburl is broken. I'm trying to remember what file was needed in the folder for the file to be PUT.

Re: Communicate with server using PUT
On 27/06/2013 14:28, Mike Bonner wrote: I think a put and a post are very similar. You might manually set the headers to work as a put but us post to send the data. (think the data comes through the same way, its just the headers that differ) I don't think that's needed - LiveCode's PUT mechanism works fine. The difference in the headers _is_ the difference: the point of the spec is that PUT means something different to POST (in POST, the resource specified in the URL is supposed to handle the data, process it in some way, possibly return some result - so for example, if that resource doesn't exist, that's an error; in PUT, the URL specifies where the data should go - if there's nothing there now, that's fine. PUT is the inverse of GET. POST is something different altogether.) But of course anyone can implement a server to interpret requests in any way. (Whether the data is encoded the way that the service expects is another issue - ie the way that LibURL is defaulting to encoding it. But that should be defined by the service.)

Re: Communicate with server using PUT
Thanks everyone, the problem is solved. It was indeed an authorization problem and once I fixed that, PUT started working. We are using a token to identify the app, and a bad copy/paste caused it to be missing a digit. All that trouble over a single integer. Right now I'm putting the data into a variable and putting that into the http URL. I get a response back in the urlResponse, just as it should be. I'm grateful for the info about urlResponse, I haven't had to use it before and didn't know it existed. I haven't tried just appending the value pairs to the end of the URL because now that it works, I don't want to mess with it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

This is coming back to me and I think I ended up testing the PUT on a different server. Perhaps some Apache setting was getting in the way and the ISP was not able to track it down.

When the server person does it from Rails, they get data back. I need to get the same data back, so I guess checking the headers won't work. The server responds with stuff I need to use. So if get URL is the way to do it, then the get should give me the data. The 404 is odd, but maybe we can figure out that part.

Should I be using this: put thing=oneother=twosomethingelse=three into url http://domain.com/page; Or should I use get URL with the full URL? Both ways are returning errors.

The result will return error messages. If you want data returned by the server use the urlresponse. That's how I first started, using put, but I think I had the content wrong. What goes into theData? In this case, the parameter values are the data. Should I just do put empty into url http://blah blah? The urlresponse is just what I was looking for, thanks much for that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I didn't think that the HTTP specification allowed for query strings with the POST or PUT methods. If they do, it is most unusual.
