cURL – PUT request examples

Example to use cURL -X PUT to send a PUT (update) request to update the user’s name and email.

$ curl -X PUT -d 'name=mkyong&email=abc@gmail.com' http://localhost:8080/user/100

If the REST API only accepts json formatted data, try this

$ curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"mkyong","email":"abc@gmail.com"}' http://localhost:8080/user/100
