mfws and python

New update on the project. The following code will check out an object. I am assuming that you have received an authentication token as in the previous posts.

url = ''.join((baseurl,'/objects/184/54/checkedout.aspx?_method=PUT'))
somedata = json.dumps({'Value':2})
headers = {"content-type":"application/json", 'X-Authentication':authtoken}
query = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data = somedata)

Changing the Value to 0 checks the object back in. If you check it out in python you can't check it in from the m-files client without forcing a check in.


The big problem I'm having is trying to modify a property. Let's say I am trying to use the resource '/objects/(type)/(objectid)/(version)/properties/(id). In my particular installation, '/objects/184/54/1235'. I can use GET and not have a problem, but when I try to put I receiver server codes 500 or 405 depending on the code that I am trying.

If I was going to modify this string property to say, "mfiles is great", what should the code look like in javascript? I can't find a good example of modifying a single property in the documentation.
