How can I set PUT parameters in Zend's HTTP Client

Question

I'm trying to use the PUT method with the Zend Http Client but I'm unable to add parameters to the request.

Here's my code snippet:

$client = new Zend_Http_Client($this->url);
$client->setAuth($this->username, $this->password, Zend_Http_Client::AUTH_BASIC);
$client->setParameterPut('fruit',$var);
$result = $client->request('PUT');
$data = $result->getBody();

I have already declared "url", "username", "password" and "var" previously in the code.

While you didn't include the error, there is no such method in Zend_Http_Client as $client->setParameterPut().

PUT requests do not have "parameter" semantics. To send content in a PUT request, you most likely want to use $client->setRawData($data, $enctype) where $data is your data, that is parameters encoded in some form, and $enctype is the Content-type, which is optional but recommended or required by most APIs.
