HTTP Put Operator

The HTTP Put operator sends an HTTP Put request to a URL. The HTTP Put operator requests that the resource, enclosed as the HTTP request content, be stored at the specified URL on the HTTP server. The URL must allow CA Process Automation to create a resource or replace an existing one.

If the URL points to an existing resource, the HTTP server handles the enclosed resource as a modified version of the existing resource.

If the URL does not point to an existing resource, then the HTTP server creates a resource with the HTTP request content. The HTTP server then saves the new resource at the specified URL.

Note: Unlike the HTTP Post operator, the URL of an HTTP Put operator identifies the resource enclosed in the HTTP request content.

The HTTP Put operator can be used for RESTful services.

Important! Use the HTTP Options operator to determine whether you can use the HTTP Put operator. The HTTP Put method is typically disabled on public HTTP servers.
