In my defense — it was my attempt at figuring out where PUT put the response 
data. I was desperate to figured it out and thought it might contain my JSON 
response. It is not part of my regular coding. But I'll admit. I was using 
Hypercard at v1.0 so it is my fall back when all else fails. Old habits are 
hard to break ;-)

Thanks for the help and reminding me about urlResponse. My API wrapper is 
working like a charm!

That is correct.

I recall seeing “it” used frequently in code I read when first learning
LiveCode. A variable named “it” was more of a barrier than anything as it
made no sense where it was coming from. It just appeared in the code out of
thin air.

Thank you, Trevor.  With that explanation I can rest easy, since my 
older code only uses GET and POST.


So to summarize, please let me know if any of the following is incorrect:

Both "it" and "urlResponse" can be used to get return values from:
GET
POST

"urlResonse" can be used to get return values from:
GET
POST
PUT
DELETE

I have been horrified by "it" since HyperCard 1.0 was released . . .

The urlresponse has been around for a number of years. It was added so that
you can get the response sent back from the server for url calls. It
doesn’t affect how it behaves in any way. Prior to adding the urlresponse
one couldn’t get the server response for PUT … into URL tURL or DELETE URL
tURL calls. It’s been so long I don’t recall the exact reasons why ‘it’
wasn’t used but I much prefer reading ’the urlresopnse’ in my code than
dealing with ‘it’ which is meaningless until put into another variable.

If urlResponse is offered as an alternative that may be useful, but if 
"it" is no longer valid at all it'll break a lot of scripts.


Sometimes moving forward with changes, even those that require script 
changes, isn't a bad thing.


But this could use some clarification from the home team.

"it" is not longer a valid container for URL responses?

I missed that memo.  Which version did that change take place in?

My understanding is that GET requests are simply submitted in a LiveCode ‘put 
URL tURL into ” statement, and the results go into the container you 
designate. POST requests are returned to ‘it’.

As far as I know it’s always been like this.

The PUT results going to the urlResponse is a new one on me. But I’m happy to 
know it.

"it" is not longer a valid container for URL responses?

I missed that memo.  Which version did that change take place in?

Try the urlResponse:

 PUT tJsonData into URL tURL
 
 put the urlResponse into tResult

PUT method where is returned data?

[Bob Hall via use-livecode]

8.1.2 Indy with Desktop App

I am using an API that uses the PUT method for some of the calls. JSON is sent 
with server data as JSON. I can’t figure out how to access the returned JSON 
data from the PUT call. I can not effect the API call. It's a commercial SAAS 
application.

Here’s my snippet of code (everything is working with the PUT as far as I can 
tell. The  data in the JSON ends up in the server App where it should). I use 
the all caps PUT for my pea brain to understand this is a HTTP PUT method 
request ;-)

PUT tJsonData into URL tURL

put the result into tResult

put it into tResult2


I would of thought that either the result or it would have the data but both 
are empty. If there is an error, I do see tsneterr in the result. Where do can 
I find the response data?

Thanks in advance,
Bob Hall
