The Zend_Http_Client docs are confusing and hard to understand. Currently I am using the following code to GET information from the Challonge API:

$client = new Zend_Http_Client("https://api.challonge.com/v1/tournaments/$bracket.json"); $client->setParameterGet(array( 'api_key' => $apikey, 'include_participants' => 1, )); $feed = $client->request()->getBody();

Very simple, three lines. Now this is a GET. How would I do the same exact thing as a PUT? Passing parameters and everything. What about a DELETE?

Sorry, I know this is not directly related to the question Json Axelrod asked, but I had a similar problem and could not find the solution anywhere online.

I was trying to do a PUT / DELETE request with Magentos Varien_Http_Client

class Varien_Http_Client extends Zend_Http_Client

So I thought the same would apply that was written in this topic and here. However no matter what I tried I could not get PUT nor DELETE requests to work.

Really simple solution in that case: Use Zend_Http_Client instead of Varien_Http_Client. It seems that Magentos Http Client class is adding some extra "convenient" methods for preparing the body that won't allow PUT nor DELETE requests.

@MrSnoozies gotta love those "features". this one just made me lose two hours
@GabrielQueirozSilva Same here, except lost quite a log more hours. What is the point of making own shitty wrapper around a perfectly good framework?

You would do 

$client->request('POST')

or 

$client->request('DELETE')

Ah... so its as simple as adding a parameter inside of the request? And it defaults to GET, which is why I never needed it before? What about setParameterGet? Would I replace that with setParameterPut? Or is there a different way to do it?
It would be setParameterPost for POST
The API says it has to be a PUT, not POST... are they interchangeable?
You have to set raw data. framework.zend.com/apidoc/1.7/Zend_Http/Client/…. It has only convenience methods for GET and POST
