HTTP Put Request

V5 Question
1

Do we have anything similar to the HTTP Put request? For what I am doing web.PostJson doesnt seem to work. Here is my script.

function updatepunch(punchid,punchtype,time) {
	var update = web.PostJson('https://api.7shifts.com/v1/'+method2+'/'+punchid+'','{ "time_punch": { "clocked_in": "'+time+'" }}',''+apikey+'','');
	return update;
}

But the api specifically says it needs PUT for updating vs creating. Below is a script for creating and it works.

This script works just fine:

function punch(userpin,timein,timeout) {
	var userid = getuser(userpin);
 	var execpunch = web.PostJson('https://api.7shifts.com/v1/'+method2+'/','{ "time_punch": { "user_id": '+userid+', "location_id": 25721, "clocked_in": "'+timein+'", "clocked_out": "'+timeout+'" }}',''+apikey+'','');
 	var punchid = JSON.parse(execpunch);
	var punchidresult = punchid.data.time_punch.id;
 	return punchidresult;
}

I think the best workaround to get things moving again is to build a quick littler wrapper.

Probably easily done in reactJS or the likes. I’m more verse in PHP so would throw a script onto one of my locally hosted web servers and go from there.

As an example you can use CURL in a php script to forward the script and return the result. something like this. this isn’t texted but will probably work.

<?php
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.MyApiEndpoint.com/somewhere/add");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($_POST));
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    echo $data;
    curl_close($ch);
?>

Yes I know how to do all of that but I am specifically asking about helpers available to Sambapos.

I think I know the answer already but I wanted to make sure I didnt miss an updated feature somewhere.

Gotcha!

Maybe a bit of digging outside of the box will show up something special

I can use the webclient .net resources but I was hoping for a premade helper.

Forgot we can use .net

Whoever came up with that idea needs a parade
