Executing PUT, PATCH in python eve app returns, method not allowed for requested url
I have written web services using Python Eve. I am trying to execute a PUT request on an already created resource. I have defined item_methods
both PATCH
in my settings.py
file, but I get the following response when I make a call: -
{
"_status": "ERR",
"_error": {
"message": "The method is not allowed for the requested URL.",
"code": 405
}
}
Following the payload of the request and the url I click on
URL: - http://127.0.0.1:5000/puburl/
Payload Request: -
[
{
"puburl": "https://github.com/tushar",
"userid": "xFGellL",
"_etag": "714df986e0bf802962a6b8cb4b9b1513e1709d7b"
}
]
My settings.py
file looks like this: -
__author__ = 'sappal'

Any ideas why the challenge is failing.

At first glance, I would say that the url you click ( http://127.0.0.1:5000/puburl/
) looks like the endpoint of a resource (collection), and it PUT
is the endpoint of a document (item). Therefore, you add it to item_methods
, not to resource_methods
. You want to hit something like http://127.0.0.1:5000/puburl/<id>
that to PUT
work.

I think the problem is that etag should be in headers with "If-Match" = etag.
