How to send PUT HTTP Request in Flex

I want to send HTTP PUT Request on one URL to update that content of XML via using API.

URL is like this: https://domainname.com/someurls/id.xml

I want to update that content.

But When I am sending this PUT request, I have seen that in Network Monitor of Flex 4, Its going as the POST request on this开发者_如何学Python web, while I am setting method as PUT in HTTPService variable.

So I am getting error. So is there any way to send the PUT request on the web ? Or Is there any special header to set PUT method ? I have tried method header but its not working....

Please help me.....

I have found the solution to send the put and delete service with HTTPSerivce in flex.

You just have to send one more header with the service method POST.

You have to send data in the POST method and attach one more header X-HTTP-Method-Override and the value as the PUT or DELETE.

Your service will be send as PUT or DELETE.

Thanks......

While Mitul's response did work for me as well, I was able to get PUT and DELETE requests working by doing the following.

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            var urlString:String = "https://www.google.com/arbitraryUrl.json";
            var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
            urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            variables._method = "DELETE";
            urlRequest.data = variables;

            urlLoader.load(urlRequest); 

So same concept really. Different way of going about it. Hope this helps some people.

Flex doesn't support PUT due to the underlying flash player. See this article about the limitations.

There is a workaround here. However, if both the server and the client are under your control, I'd suggest using only GET and POST. Flex just isn't meant for true RESTful clients. (For example make a post with a parameter put=true)
