In any other languages using alternatives to POST and GET is a fairly simple operation. In Brightscript however using PUT and DELETE operations isn’t particularly well documented in the SDK docs.
To add PUT or DELETE we need to set the request type on our roUrlTransfer object. In a standard GET request you’d have something like this:
function httpGetRequest(url as String) as Object
request = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
request.setURL(url)
response = request.getToString()
return response
end function
But to use a DELETE or PUT request you need to set the request type as well as using the asyncPostFromString or postFromString call. So to use a PUT use something like:
function httpPutRequest(url as String, body as String) as Void
request = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
request.setURL(url)
request.setRequest("PUT")
request.postFromString(body)
end function
Or similarly a DELETE:
function httpDeleteRequest(url as String, body as String) as Void
request = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
request.setURL(url)
request.setRequest("DELETE")
request.postFromString(body)
end function
