REST Http PUT request is giving error in Google oAuth playground

Hi,

I am playing around with Google oAuth playground.I got success in HTTP GET,HTTP DELETE,HTTP POST requests.But when I tried HTTP PUT it was throwing me below error.

 

"{
"message" : "HTTP Method 'PUT' not allowed. Allowed are HEAD,GET,PATCH,DELETE",
"errorCode" : "METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED"
}"

 

Kindly let me know how can I update salesforce records?

 

Thanks,

If you are not able to use PATCH, you could try sending a POST and using the query parameter "_HttpMethod" set to "PATCH" to fake it, as described in the top answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6870677/cf8-and-salesforce-rest-api-updating-records

As per the docs, you use PATCH to update existing records.

Hi Simon,

but this PATCH operation is not available in Google oAuth playground.
