hi,
i'm working on a simple RESTful webservice with python with the webapp framework on the google app engine.
Basically i'm sending all request via AJAX/jquery - for POST it works like a charm, but when I'm sending data with PUT, the parameters are empty / not processed.
this is my PUT:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: "/boxes",
data: { name: this.name, archived: this.archived },
success: function(msg){
}
});
firebug saids i'm putting:
Parameter application/x-www-form-urlencoded
archived false
name 123112323asdasd
but using this python code:
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp import util, template
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.api.datastore_types import *
from django.utils import simplejson as json
import cgi
import datetime
class BoxHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self): #working
print "test"
self.response.out.write(self.request.get("name"))
def put(self):
print "test" #not working
self.response.out.write(self.request.get("name"))
will just return
test
