Tim,

I'm having plenty success accessing our REST API using EWB but have just stumbled upon a real surprise ie. no apparent support for HTTP PUT or DELETE?

Can you advise?

Thanks
Mark

Mark,

I have not tried this but you should be able to just add rmPUT and
rmDELETE constants into webhttp.

Modify the TServerRequest.GetMethodName function so it returns the
proper names.

Underlying TXMLHttpRequest is called with the MethodName function as 1st
param so as long as it returns PUT or DELETE things should work

That is correct - the changes are as follows for the next build:

const

  { Request methods }

  rmGet = 0;
  rmPost = 1;
  rmHead = 2;
  rmPut = 3;
  rmDelete = 4;

implementation

function TServerRequest.GetMethodName: String;
begin
  case FMethod of
     rmGet:
        Result:='GET';
     rmPost:
        Result:='POST';
     rmHead:
        Result:='HEAD';
     rmPut:
        Result:='PUT';
     rmDelete:
        Result:='DELETE';
     else
        Result:='';
     end;
end;

Raul,

Thanks for the hint

Thanks for the update

I can confirm that I've made these changes as a temporary fix and it works perfectly.
