Opened API for deprecated HTTP method calls

[TobiasHauck]

There are some HTTP methods that are deprecated. We cannot provide them in this bundle because we are not able to test them properly. So if you want to use HTTP methods like LINK or UNLINK you can now extend the RestClient service and add these methods by yourself.

namespace Acme\MyBundle\Services;

use Ci\RestClientBundle\Services;

ExtendendRestClient extends RestClient {
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function link($url, array $options = array()) {
        return $this->curl->sendRequest($url, 'LINK', $options);
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function unlink($url, array $options = array()) {
        return $this->curl->sendRequest($url, 'UNLINK', $options);
    }
}

Afterwards override the parameter "ci.restclient.class" in your applications parameters configuration with your new one (in this case "Acme\MyBundle\Services\ExtendedRestClient").

parameters:
    ci.restclient.class: Acme\MyBundle\Services\ExtendedRestClient

Thank you, Tobias, I'll do that.

Just for me, LINK/UNLINK methods are really deprecated ?

[TobiasHauck]

Yes they are some kind of deprecated.

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-link-method-01.html

"These were originally defined as "additional request methods" that were later dropped entirely from follow-on iterations of the HTTP specification due to previous lack of interest or use."

[Chroq]

Indeed... I'll see if I can eventually change them for something else.

By the way, thank you very much !

[TobiasHauck]

No problem. Thank you for supporting us!
