Editing posts with Elk fails

[pmakholm]

The Elk client seems to use the PATCH method for editing posts instead of a PUT request.

Patching Takahe to allow the PATCH request instead of a PUT request for api/views/satuses.py:statuses.edit_status() allows me to edit posts with Elk, but I'm not sure how I best allow both methods.

Hi, Elk uses the JavaScript library masto.js to communicate with the API server. It seems that masto.js fixed this issue by switching from PATCH method to the PUT method just three weeks ago: neet/masto.js#1017 (comment)

This can be fixed on the Elk side by upgrading masto.js dependencies. The fix was published as v6.6.3 but Elk uses v6.5.2 now.

Thanks, then I will not investigate further but just wait for Elk to use an updated masto.js.

The fix has just landed on the latest Canary version (660549b@main) at https://main.elk.zone/. Please wait for the next version up (TBD) when you are using the stable version https://elk.zone etc.

I confirmed the fix with takahe.social account:

This fix was released to the stable version v0.13.1 yesterday: https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/releases/tag/v0.13.1

Is there still work for Takahē?
