How to make a patch call to external API from Lithium?

Hi,

I need to update an existing record in salesforce by making a patch call from LIthium to salesforce. But Lithium is not allowing me to make Patch call.

Request looks as below :

http.client.request("https","api.something.com","url.something").header("Authorization", "Basic encodedcreds").body("{'param1':'value1','param2':'value2'}","application/json").patch() />

But I'm getting below error says step after the last dot that caused this error. Step after the last dot is patch.

{ "status": "error",%s"error":"
FreeMarker template error:
The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==>http.client.request("https","api.something.com","url.something").
header("Authorization", "Basic encodedcreds").
body("{'param1':'value1','param2':'value2'}","application/json").patch() />  [in template "sfescalatecasedetails.ftl" at line 2, column 31]

Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.

So it looks like lithium allows POST method not Patch method. 

So I have tried directly calling salesforce API from code instead of creating an endpoint in Lithium, It is working but I'm getting the below error message on console:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://powerschool--full.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v34.0/sobjects/Case/' from origin 'https://staging.help.powerschool.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Could some one provide me with the solution how to make a patch call to salesforce via Lithium endpoint?

 

Thanks,
