Can MvCALL do HTTP "PATCH" requests?

[Kent Multer]

Hi folks,

I was just reading the specs on MailChimp's new API version 3.0, and discovered that it will be mandatory next year as version 2.0 is being turned off. Along with the usual GETs, PUTs, POSTS, and DELETEs, version 3.0 also requires the PATCH method for some requests. I didn't even know this existed, but I found some specs on-line(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789); apparently it's not new.

Is there any way to make this type of request with MvCALL?

----- Follow-up: ----- I just did some reading of MailChimp's docs, and I found this:

Note
If your ISP doesn’t permit HTTP operations other than GET or POST, use HTTP Method tunneling: make your call with POST, but include the method you intend to use in an X-HTTP-Method-Override header.

I suppose that will handle it for MailChimp. But in case a server doesn't support tunneling, is there another way? ----- -----

Thanks --

I'll check with development, but from the docs, PATCH does not look like a supported method for MvCALL.

Also, it is worth noting that we are going to be rebuilding our mailchimp integration next year to support their v3 API as well.

Brennan, what did your investigation turn up? I have a client that is also wanting integration with MailChimp and they need a PATCH call. I tried MvCALL with PATCH and it looks like it is doing a GET (or at least the MailChimp api is responding like it is).

As of version Empresa 5.28 MvCALL now supports PATCH, LINK and UNLINK.
