Editing Contact Results In "Not Found"

Question

I have working PHP code to create a Google contact via their v3 API. However, when it comes time to edit (update) the contact I cannot seem to get it to do the update. I keep getting a "Not Found" back in the update response. Any ideas why???

Here is my code.

$client  = new Google_Client();

$client->setApplicationName(APPLICATION_NAME);
$client->setScopes(SCOPE);
$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$client->setClientSecret(CLIENT_SECRET);
$client->setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URI);
$client->setAccessToken($token);

$xml = <<<END_XML
<atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' xmlns:gContact='http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008'>
   <atom:content type='text'>{$content}</atom:content>
</atom:entry>
END_XML;

$request = new Google_Http_Request("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/{$account}/full/{$contact['id']}");
$request = $client->getAuth()->sign($request);
$request->setRequestMethod("POST");
$request->setPostBody($xml);
$request->setRequestHeaders(array('content-length' => strlen($xml), 'GData-Version'=> '3.0','content-type'=>'application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8; type=feed'));

$response    = $client->getIo()->executeRequest($request);

Here is a var_dump of my request (data masked with xxx):

Answer 1

Since https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/http-update, that means request to the Contacts API must be sent with https:// instead of http:// now, have you noticed you are using

http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/events%40xxx/base/1603b8310ac9f5ca

rather than

https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/events%40xxx/base/1603b8310ac9f5ca

in the var_dump of my request code.

Answer 2

I think you need to change

$request->setRequestMethod("POST");

to

$request->setRequestMethod("PUT");
