@laurent

I try to submit update of note with PATCH or PUT method but I get that

```auto
curl -i -X PATCH -d title="NEW TITLE" -d id="6970d62cf2af43e49405d2041ce3d3bf" http://127.0.0.1:41184/notes\?token=_my_wonrderful_long_joplin_token
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed

```

and same with PUT method

What did I miss ?

otherwise, GET/DELETE/POST work great

PATCH is not supported, but PUT is, however you need to specify the note ID in the URL.

Also you need to pass it a JSON object with the properties you want to change:

```auto
curl -i -X PUT --data '{ "title":"NEW TITLE" }' http://127.0.0.1:41184/notes/6970d62cf2af43e49405d2041ce3d3bf\?token=_my_wonrderful_long_joplin_token

```

ok, but not ok 🙂

```auto
curl -i -X PUT --data '{"title": "NEW TITLE"}' 'http://127.0.0.1:41184/notes/6970d62cf2af43e49405d2041ce3d3bf?token=a long token'

Indeed, that looks like an application error. Is there anything in any of the logs?

in log-clipper.txt there is just the `PUT` line as this one

```auto
2018-10-02 12:55:27: "Request: PUT /notes/6970d62cf2af43e49405d2041ce3d3bf?token=<joplin token>"

```

I have nothing else ☹

Do you want an issue on github for that?

That will be fixed in the next release 🙂
