The first is to <em>simulate</em> HTTP's uniform interface for clients like web browsers that don't support PUT or DELETE"</p> -<p>— <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Restful-Web-Services-Leonard-Richardson/dp/0596529260">RESTful Web Services</a>, Leonard Richardson & Sam Ruby.</p> -</blockquote> -<h2 id="browser-based-put-delete-etc">Browser based PUT, DELETE, etc...</h2> -<p>REST framework supports browser-based <code>PUT</code>, <code>DELETE</code> and other methods, by -overloading <code>POST</code> requests using a hidden form field.</p> -<p>Note that this is the same strategy as is used in <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#how-do-forms-with-put-or-delete-methods-work">Ruby on Rails</a>.</p> -<p>For example, given the following form:</p> -<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code><form action="/news-items/5" method="POST"> - <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE"> -</form> -</code></pre> -<p><code>request.method</code> would return <code>"DELETE"</code>.</p> -<h2 id="http-header-based-method-overriding">HTTP header based method overriding</h2> -<p>REST framework also supports method overriding via the semi-standard <code>X-HTTP-Method-Override</code> header. This can be useful if you are working with non-form content such as JSON and are working with an older web server and/or hosting provider that doesn't recognise particular HTTP methods such as <code>PATCH</code>. For example <a href="https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=400724">Amazon Web Services ELB</a>.</p> -<p>To use it, make a <code>POST</code> request, setting the <code>X-HTTP-Method-Override</code> header.</p> -<p>For example, making a <code>PATCH</code> request via <code>POST</code> in jQuery:</p> -<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>$.ajax({ - url: '/myresource/', - method: 'POST', - headers: {'X-HTTP-Method-Override': 'PATCH'}, - ... -}); -</code></pre> -<h2 id="browser-based-submission-of-non-form-content">Browser based submission of non-form content</h2> -<p>Browser-based submission of content types other than form are supported by -using form fields named <code>_content</code> and <code>_content_type</code>:</p> -<p>For example, given the following form:</p> -<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code><form action="/news-items/5" method="PUT"> - <input type="hidden" name="_content_type" value="application/json"> - <input name="_content" value="{'count': 1}"> -</form> -</code></pre> -<p><code>request.content_type</code> would return <code>"application/json"</code>, and -<code>request.stream</code> would return <code>"{'count': 1}"</code></p> -<h2 id="url-based-accept-headers">URL based accept headers</h2> -<p>REST framework can take <code>?accept=application/json</code> style URL parameters, -which allow the <code>Accept</code> header to be overridden.</p> -<p>This can be useful for testing the API from a web browser, where you don't -have any control over what is sent in the <code>Accept</code> header.</p> -<h2 id="url-based-format-suffixes">URL based format suffixes</h2> -<p>REST framework can take <code>?format=json</code> style URL parameters, which can be a -useful shortcut for determining which content type should be returned from -the view.</p> -<p>This is a more concise than using the <code>accept</code> override, but it also gives -you less control. (For example you can't specify any media type parameters)</p> -<h2 id="doesnt-html5-support-put-and-delete-forms">Doesn't HTML5 support PUT and DELETE forms?</h2> -<p>Nope. It was at one point intended to support <code>PUT</code> and <code>DELETE</code> forms, but -was later <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/#changes-2010-06-24">dropped from the spec</a>. There remains -<a href="http://amundsen.com/examples/put-delete-forms/">ongoing discussion</a> about adding support for <code>PUT</code> and <code>DELETE</code>, -as well as how to support content types other than form-encoded data.</p> - </div><!--/span--> - </div><!--/row--> - </div><!--/.fluid-container--> - </div><!--/.body content--> - - <div id="push"></div> - </div><!--/.wrapper --> - - <footer class="span12"> - <p>Sponsored by <a href="http://dabapps.com/">DabApps</a>.</a></p> - </footer> - - <!-- Le javascript - ================================================== --> - <!-- Placed at the end of the document so the pages load faster --> - <script src="http://www.django-rest-framework.org/js/jquery-1.8.1-min.js"></script> - <script src="http://www.django-rest-framework.org/js/prettify-1.0.js"></script> - <script src="http://www.django-rest-framework.org/js/bootstrap-2.1.1-min.js"></script> - - <script> - //$('.side-nav').scrollspy() - var shiftWindow = function() { scrollBy(0, -50) }; - if (location.hash) shiftWindow(); - window.addEventListener("hashchange", shiftWindow); - - $('.dropdown-menu').on('click touchstart', function(event) { - event.stopPropagation(); - }); - - // Dynamically force sidenav to no higher than browser window - $('.side-nav').css('max-height', window.innerHeight - 130); - - $(function(){ - $(window).resize(function(){ - $('.side-nav').css('max-height', window.innerHeight - 130); - }); - }); - </script> -</body></html> |
