From 177c45d787dfd2bb5cc6d6539476804117eddb9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Baur Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 11:29:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Improve error message for POST queries If the user does a POST query but forgets to add the 'X-HTTP-Method-Override: GET' HTP header, the error message was misleading. This changes the error message to a more detailed message which might give the user a better understanding what the problem could be. Fixes #7675. --- lib/remote/modifyobjecthandler.cpp | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/remote/modifyobjecthandler.cpp b/lib/remote/modifyobjecthandler.cpp index 3f360fe30..cc008b90c 100644 --- a/lib/remote/modifyobjecthandler.cpp +++ b/lib/remote/modifyobjecthandler.cpp @@ -65,7 +65,8 @@ bool ModifyObjectHandler::HandleRequest( if (attrsVal.GetReflectionType() != Dictionary::TypeInstance) { HttpUtility::SendJsonError(response, params, 400, - "Invalid type for 'attrs' attribute specified.
