Http.patch() | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Http:patch(uri, content)

Send an asynchronous PATCH request to the connected HTTP server to apply partial modifications to the target resource.

Sending the PATCH request and receiveing the HTTP response is done by a Task asynchronously (other Tasks will be executed concurrently without blocking execution flow)

Parameters

uri

A string representing the target resource on the server.

content

A File or any value converted to a string representing the body content of the request.

Return value

This method return a Task instance. Once the Task has finished, it will return two values :

The first value is the Http instance used for the PUT request.
The second value is nil in case of error or a table that contains the server response, with the following fields

"content" : a string containing the body part of the HTTP response
"elapsed" : a number representing the elapsed time to get the response
"status" : a number containing the HTTP response status
"reason" : a string containing HTTP response status text
"ok" : a boolean value indicating if the GET request succeeded
"headers" : a table containing a pair of strings(header field names of the HTTP response as key and content as values)
"cookies" : a table containing a pair of strings(cookies names of the HTTP response as key and content as values)

Example


local net = require "net"

local client = net.Http("https://reqbin.com")

local data = [[
{
  "User": {
    "Id": 12345,
    "Name": "John Smith"
  }
}
]]

-- make a PATCH request, and once its terminated, call the provided function, to process the response
client:patch("/echo/patch/json", data).after = function (self, response)
  if not response then
    error(net.error)
  end
  print(response.content)
end
