API calls, I extended the httpclient object

[joostfra]

For making API calls i used the httpclient opject.
Soon i missed a lot of call types.
So, i copied the fphttpclient, named it the jahttpclient and created the missing methods.
Now i can make the calls i want.
But maybe someone else has the same problem, therefore i attached the unit to this post.
If someone tries/uses it, just let us know if it works for you too,

Or perhaps i was looking totally in the wrong direction.... and can someone correct me.

Maybe you can explain and sum up the things you missed.

(That might be easier for us than puzzling on your changed code.)

You are right, i will give a summary.

I missed the Patch and SimplePatch methods, these i created in the same way as the existing.
Next to the FileFormPost and StreamFormPost i created the FilePost and the StreamPost (the original modifies the file content, the new does not)
The same way i created a FilePut and StreamPut and the FilePatch and StreamPatch for the same reason.

I did not change the existing code, only added methods in the public area.
And of course the implementation of the methods.

Yes a patch.
Ask Michael for a review.

[joostfra]

Should i ask Michael for a review ?

@Michael: i added a couple of useful methods.
Maybe this is useful for more people.
A small summary is in this topic.

While i am new to this forum, just correct me if i am wrong.

a quick patch/diff between 2 different file names attached (unified and ignoring case)

fwiw. It will not be accepted as such if only because of the the changes in formatting (they cloud a possible merge request)

edit: cleaned version attached as well. I can't seem to be able to add the additional3 to 4 superfluous spaces in my diff editor tool (it automatically removes any edit considering remotely stupid)
