Class PatchRequest

public class PatchRequest
extends HttpRequest

Provides a PATCH Request class for performing simple HTTP request operations. This class provides an easier and safer interface for the Apache HTTP Components library. The default connection timeout is 10 seconds and socket read timeout is 60 seconds. Socket connections will also apply any JVM proxy settings automatically. By default the maximum response read size is 16 MB. If the response is larger than this an IOException will be thrown. To increase the maximum read limit use the HttpRequest.setReadLimit(int) method. In RESTful services the PATCH method is used to update resources.

Examples

The example below performs PUT request and converts the response into a JSON document.

 import com.avoka.tm.http.*
 import com.avoka.tm.util.*
 String message = '''{
     "cutomerId":82881,
     "name":"John Doe",
     "email":"john.doe@gmail.com",
     "age":42
 }'''
 String username = svcDef.paramsMap.username
 String password = svcDef.paramsMap.password
 // execute PUT request and return a HttpResponse object
 HttpResponse response = new PatchRequest('https://service.mycorp.com/secure/rest/accounts/')
       .setMessage(message)
       .setBasicAuth(username, password)
       .execute()
 if (response.isStatusOK()) {
     // get JSON object from the response
     Path path = response.getPathContent()
     ...
 } else if (response.isStatusNotFound()) {
     // object not found
     ...
 } else {
     throw new RuntimeException(response.statusLine)
 }
