Hi,
I'm using libmicrohttpd 0.9.63.
Looking at the libmicrohttpd code, I don't think the behaviour has changed
since then.
I'm investigating a problem that I'm having with a PATCH request.
It's being handled differently from a PUT request.
I'm using the following to send a response to the request:
#define FORBIDDEN "{\"error_text\": \"Permission Denied\"}"
struct MHD_Response *response=NULL;
response = MHD_create_response_from_buffer(strlen (FORBIDDEN),
(void *) FORBIDDEN,
MHD_RESPMEM_PERSISTENT);
MHD_add_response_header(response, "Content-Type", "application/json");
ret = MHD_queue_response (connection, MHD_HTTP_FORBIDDEN, response);
MHD_destroy_response (response);
For a PUT request, the client is getting the response.
However, with a PATCH request, the client is not getting a response.
I'm using curl as the HTTP client.
Looking at the MHD_connection_handle_idle function src/microhttpd/connection.c
I can see that the POST and PUT methods are
handled differently to everything else (e.g. when the state is
MHD_CONNECTION_HEADERS_PROCESSED)
Is there a reason for that?
Should I be calling some other function to better handle the PATCH method?
I get similar behaviour with a random method when I send data.
Looking at the examples that libmicrohttpd comes with, I don't see any methods
being used other than GET, HEAD and POST.
Thanks in advance,
Conor
