Multipart Method Overriding

HTTP method overriding is a technique used to support clients or intermediate proxies that do not support certain HTTP methods, such as PUT, PATCH, or DELETE. By using a POST request with an override signal, you can communicate your intended HTTP method.

Override via Request Headers

Include the X-HTTP-Method-Override header in your POST request to specify the target method.

axios({
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "X-HTTP-Method-Override": "PATCH"
    },
    data: formData
});

Parameter	Description
X-HTTP-Method-Override	The intended HTTP method (e.g., PUT, PATCH, DELETE).

Override via Query Parameters

Pass the target method using the _method query parameter. This is useful if your client environment makes it difficult to manipulate request headers.

axios({
    method: "POST",
    url: "http://localhost/api/example",
    params: {
        _method: "PATCH"
    },
    data: formData
});

Parameter	Description
_method	The intended HTTP method (e.g., PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
