How to Enable Put Requests in Azure

How do I enable PUT requests in Azure?

Add the following to the web.config in the system.webServer element:

<handlers>
  <remove name="PHP54_via_FastCGI" />
  <add name="PHP54_via_FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Either" requireAccess="Script" />
</handlers>

This works for the built in versions of PHP, the current default is PHP 5.4, but if you have selected PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.5 you will need to modify the path of the php-cgi handler.

python requests: PUT request to azure fails with 415 error

The HTTP header should Content-Type and not contentType.

headers = {
    "dataType": "json",
    "accept":"application/json",
    "Content-Type":"application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer " + bearer_token }

Also, parameter data should be JSON encoded.

r = requests.put(url, json=data, headers=headers)

Besides Content-Type, for a put request, you also need to fill Content-Length in string_params as corresponding header is probably set by sdk automatically.

Angular Put request not working with Laravel 5.3 hosted on azure

So, Because Apache and IIS servers are different. IIS does not handle PUT and DELETE by default. It also handles params for PUT request differently.

Instead of body, you need to send it in a query string like ../resource?param1=value1. AKA x-www-form-urlencoded This article explains it thoroughly

As of angular, this worked for me.

 function (id, params) {
        params.api_token = TOKEN;
        var params = $httpParamSerializerJQLike(params);
        return $http.put(url+'/lead/'+id+'?'+params);
    }

NOTE: In addition, your web.config does require <handler> tags to be able to handle these requests. which is defined here

Are PUT and DELETE requests supported by Azure Static web apps CLI on local environment?

Turns out the solution is adding a staticwebapp.config.json file (sample allowing any user to run PUT and DELETE calls, even when not authenticated):

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "route": "/api/*",
      "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"]
    }
  ]
}
