Http Patch

Perform an HTTP PATCH request.

Description​

Sends an HTTP PATCH request to the specified URL and provide the results.

The HTTP PATCH request method applies partial modifications to a resource. The HTTP PUT method only allows complete replacement of a document. Unlike PUT, PATCH is not idempotent, meaning successive identical patch requests may have different effects. However, it is possible to issue PATCH requests in such a way as to be idempotent.

Additional headers can be provided and returned in a string that has to be in JSON format.

Example: '{"Content-Type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8", "Content-Length": 1024 }'

The returned body is formatted depending on the mimeType received in the headers : as an UTF-8 string for common text content (text/html, application/json, ...), and as a base64 string for all other contents.

Inputs​

  • url (String): The URL to query.
  • headers (Object): Optional HTTP headers in a JSON object or a JSON parsable string.
  • body (String): The body of the request. The body must be a JSON parsable string.

Outputs​

  • status code (Number): The response status code.
  • body (String): The body (i.e. the content) of the response.
  • headers (String): The response headers.
  • Error Flow (Error Flow): Triggered if an error occurs.
