Method: Gem::Net::HTTP#patch

Defined in:

lib/rubygems/vendor/net-http/lib/net/http.rb

#patch(path, data, initheader = nil, dest = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

patch(path, data, initheader = nil) {|res| ... }

Sends a PATCH request to the server; returns an instance of a subclass of Gem::Net::HTTPResponse.

The request is based on the Gem::Net::HTTP::Patch object created from string path, string data, and initial headers hash initheader.

With a block given, calls the block with the response body:

data = '{"userId": 1, "id": 1, "title": "delectus aut autem", "completed": false}'
http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
http.patch('/todos/1', data) do |res|
  p res
end # => #<Gem::Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

Output:

"{\n  \"userId\": 1,\n  \"id\": 1,\n  \"title\": \"delectus aut autem\",\n  \"completed\": false,\n  \"{\\\"userId\\\": 1, \\\"id\\\": 1, \\\"title\\\": \\\"delectus aut autem\\\", \\\"completed\\\": false}\": \"\"\n}"

With no block given, simply returns the response object:

http.patch('/todos/1', data) # => #<Gem::Net::HTTPCreated 201 Created readbody=true>

# File 'lib/rubygems/vendor/net-http/lib/net/http.rb', line 2074

def patch(path, data, initheader = nil, dest = nil, &block) # :yield: +body_segment+
  send_entity(path, data, initheader, dest, Patch, &block)
