PUTURL

Purpose:

Puts data to a URL.

PUTURL("url", "data", "header", "typestr", "cmdtype", bufsize)

"url"

A string, the source URL address.

"data"

A string, the data string. Defaults to empty, no data.

"header"

A string, the HTML header string. Defaults to "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nAccept: */*\r\n"

"typestr"

Optional. A string. The returned data type:

"text"	:	return a string (default)
"binary"	:	return a binary series

"cmdtype"

Optional A string. The HTML command. Defaults to "PUT".

bufsize

Optional. An integer. The initial size of the HTML transfer buffer. Defaults to 65536.

A string or series, the result of the HTML request.

(result, status, errmes) = PUTURL("url", "data", "header", "typestr", "cmdtype", bufsize) returns the value, integer status and error string.

url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1";

hed = "Content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" + strescape("\r\n");

str = '{"id":1, "title":"A Title", "body":"A Body", "userId":200}';

jstr = puturl(url, str, hed);

Updates a simulated JSON store with the JSON object represented by str. To convert the returned JSON string to an object, use:

jobj = objjson(jstr);

PUTURL sends data to a URL as specified by header, typestr and cmdtype.

The result is buffered. The initial buffer size is doubled until it fits the result.

PUTURL is a low level routine for HTML data transfers.

See GETURL to obtain the contents of a URL.

See READJSON to load a JSON object from a file or URL.
