Field Detail

METHOD_OVERRIDE_PROPERTY

public static final java.lang.String METHOD_OVERRIDE_PROPERTY

If this system property is set to true, the GData HTTP client library will use POST to send data to the associated GData service and will specify the actual method using the METHOD_OVERRIDE_HEADER HTTP header. This can be used as a workaround for HTTP proxies or gateways that do not handle PUT or DELETE HTTP methods properly. If the system property is false, the regular PUT and DELETE HTTP verbs will be used.
