    HI KevinSaquing ,

     

    Yes, it is possible by passing header X-HTTP-Method-Override  = PATCH. Following is the syntax.

    <#assign response = http.client.request(API).header("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "PATCH").post()/>
     
    Thanks,
    Phani

    This is strange, I am using the same code in multiple endpoints without any issue. Are you seeing any FreeMarker exceptions? will you able to debug on the other end (API) whether the request is coming or not? 

    http.clinet.request freemarker context object will throw exception if the API status code is other than 200, maybe check API status code as well.

    Thanks for the suggestion but maybe its on Salesforce end. The solution for my problem is fixed by adding Salesforce parameter 🙂
