Example
The following example, typed on the Mini Micro command line puts data to a URL, retrieves a response, and displays Hello World from the test site http://postman-echo.com.
Note: depending on how the server is setup to respond to put requests you may get different types of data. the below example the server responds with application/octet-stream or a list of unicode number values which we must convert back into a string.
import "json" // for json.parse
import "listUtil" // for List.apply extension
request = http.put("http://postman-echo.com/put", "Hello World")
request_data = json.parse(request)
buffer = request_data.data.data
buffer.apply @char
buffer.join ""
