Answer from AI
The HTTP PUT method is used to create or replace a resource at the specified URL.
Main features of PUT:
- Idempotent: repeated requests with the same data do not change the result.
- Usually used to update an existing resource or create a new one if it does not exist.
- The request body contains data that should be saved at the specified address.
Example of using PUT:
PUT /users/123 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Ivan",
"email": "ivan@example.com"
}
This request will create or update the user with ID 123 with the specified data.
