Just to be more explicit (and not so dependent on the magic in the
generic.json view), I would instead recommend:
db[table_name].validate_and_insert(**vars).as_dict()
def PUT(table_name,record_id,**vars):
> return dict(db(db[table_name]._id==record_id).update(**vars))
> def DELETE(table_name,record_id):
> return dict(db(db[table_name]._id==record_id).delete())
> return dict(GET=GET, POST=POST, PUT=PUT, DELETE=DELETE)
>
> Can do my get, then I try:

> curl -X PUT -d "datavalue=updated" http:

> invalid arguments

Note, your PUT and DELETE functions take table_name and record_id
positional arguments, yet you have passed "secrets", "id", and "21" as
positional arguments (via URL args). There is no need for the "id" URL arg
with these two methods. The "id" arg is used with the GET request because
that method is relying on the more generalized parse_as_rest functionality,
which matches patterns and allows you to specify a field name in addition
to a table name. Just change your URL to:
http://localhost:8007/apitest/default/secapi/secrets/21
If you want the GET function to be more consistent (and limit it to
filtering by id), then you could exclude "id" from the GET URLs and instead
insert "id" into the args list before passing args to parse_as_rest.
