httpPut(url, request [[, proxy] [, putDataObject]])

Description

Executes an HTTP PUT for the given URL using the specified HttpRequest object. The data used for the PUT can be either included in the request object (as name-value parameters) or it can be added as a separate parameter (in the case of JSON, struct etc).

Requests can also be sent through a proxy.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description

request	HttpRequest	Yes	An HttpRequest object containing headers, cookies, parameters.
proxy	HttpProxy	No	An HttpProxy object containing the host and port of the proxy server.
putDataObject	variable: string, array or struct	No	Data to be used for the PUT method.

The request parameter should have the HttpRequest type described here. The HttpProxy type is described here.

Example

The following example calls an HTTP PUT using the JIRA REST API that updates the assignee for the current ticket.

string baseUrl = getJIRABaseUrl();
string requestUrl = baseUrl + "/rest/api/2/issue/" + key;

HttpRequest request;
HttpHeader authHeader = httpBasicAuthHeader("admin", "admin");
request.headers += authHeader;
request.headers += httpCreateHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
string updateInfo =  "{\"fields\": {\"assignee\":{\"name\":\"guest1\"}}}";

httpPut(requestUrl, request, updateInfo);

You can get the same result if, instead of the JSON, you use a SIL structure to store the data to be updated.

string baseUrl = getJIRABaseUrl();
string requestUrl = baseUrl + "/rest/api/2/issue/" + key;

HttpRequest request;
HttpHeader authHeader = httpBasicAuthHeader("admin", "admin");
request.headers += authHeader;
request.headers += httpCreateHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

struct Assignee {
    string name;
}
struct Field {
    Assignee assignee;
}
struct UpdateInfo {
    Field fields;
}

UpdateInfo updateInfo;
updateInfo.fields.assignee.name = "guest1";

httpPut(requestUrl, request, updateInfo);
