How to use libcurl to evoke an HTTP PATCH method

[Blake McBride]

Hi,

I am using:


* if (!strcmp(ci->httpVerb, "GET"))*
* curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);*
* else if (!strcmp(ci->httpVerb, "POST"))*
* curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1L);*
* else if (!strcmp(ci->httpVerb, "PUT"))*
* curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);*
* else if (!strcmp(ci->httpVerb, "PATCH"))*
* ???????????;*


I can't figure out what to do in the case of a PATCH method. Sure
appreciate some help.

Thanks!

Use the CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST option:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PATCH");
