PUT/DELETE don't work

[lievenjanssen]

I changed the PUT code locally and implemented it this way:

To implement DELETE you can find code in following article:

+1 that! I too am finding DELETE doesn't work. I've tried implementing suggestions above, but no dice.

I had to fix this locally too. This was my journey:

On the original code inside this repository we have:

case 'PUT':
    // Set the request method.
    $this->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
    // PUT data comes in on the stdin stream.
    $putData = fopen($inputStream, 'r');
    $this->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_READDATA, $putData);
    // TODO: set CURLOPT_INFILESIZE to the value of Content-Length.
    break;

This is the code that doesn't work. "CURLOPT_READDATA" doesn't appear in this documentation http://php.net/manual/es/function.curl-setopt.php so I really don't know what the author meant by that? The code gives me the following error:

curl_setopt(): cannot represent a stream of type Input as a STDIO FILE*

Maybe the problem is that it was expecting me to push a file in the PUT request but instead I'm pushing a json object (perfectly valid PUT request), but I really have no idea actually.

When looking at other examples on how to do a PUT curl (like in the link referenced by @lievenjanssen and also as explained by this comment in the docs: http://php.net/manual/es/function.curl-setopt.php#96056) we can see that they use "CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS" to define the data that should be pushed in the PUT curl request. In fact, after having it working and doing some reworks I realized I was writing the same code that the author already has in the "case 'POST':"

Indeed, I deleted the whole "case 'PUT'" and just added it to the POST case. I also added the case 'DELETE', like so:

case 'POST':
case 'PATCH':
case 'PUT':
case 'DELETE':
    $data = '';
    if (isset($options['data'])) {
        $data = $options['data'];
    }
    else {
        if (!isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)) {
            $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents($inputStream);
        }
        $data = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
    }
    $this->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    break;

Which works fine for my use-case (doing POST and PUT with jsons)
