Method
Middleware/handler for handling http method overrides. This checks for the
X-HTTP-Method-Override header and uses it if the original reqeust method is
POST. GET/HEAD methods shouldn't be overriden, hence they can't be
overriden.
This is useful for REST APIs and services making use of many HTTP verbs, and when the HTTP clients don't support all of them.

Overview ¶
Method implements the ability to override HTTP methods This package was created from github.com/codegangsta/martini-contrib/method and modified to work with the echo framework
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const HeaderHTTPMethodOverride = "X-HTTP-Method-Override"
HeaderHTTPMethodOVerride is a common HTTP header used to override the HTTP method
const ParamHTTPMethodOverride = "_method"
ParamHTTPMethodOverride is a common used HTTML form parameter used to override the HTTP method
Variables ¶
var ErrInvalidOverrideMethod = errors.New("invalid override method")
ErrInvalidOverrideMethod is returned when an invalid http method was given to OverrideRequestMethod.
Functions ¶
func Override ¶
func Override() echo.HandlerFunc
Override checks for the X-HTTP-Method-Override header or the HTML for parameter, `_method` and uses (if valid) the http method instead of Request.Method. This is especially useful for http clients that don't support many http verbs. It isn't secure to override e.g a GET to a POST, so only Request.Method which are POSTs are considered.
