Making put/post from Tornado doesent work - http

Question

I am trying to make a PUT method (or POST) to DropBox api, but it doesent work, I get a GET instead?
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
from tornado.httputil import HTTPHeaders
from tornado.httpclient import HTTPClient, HTTPRequest
url = "https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/sandbox/world.txt"
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def post(self):
headers = HTTPHeaders({'Authorization': 'Bearer TOKEN_FOR_DROPBOX'})
HTTPClient().fetch(
HTTPRequest(url, 'PUT', body="hello there", headers=headers))
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r"/", MainHandler),
])
if __name__ == "__main__":
application.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
Update: using GET makes an error: HTTPError: HTTP 400: Bad Request
Here is a new code:
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
from tornado.httpclient import HTTPClient, HTTPRequest
url = "https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/sandbox/wor.txt"
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.set_header('Authorization', 'Bearer DROPBOX_TOKEN')
self.set_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
HTTPClient().fetch(
HTTPRequest(url, 'PUT', body="hello there"))
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r"/", MainHandler),
])
if __name__ == "__main__":
application.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
but get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried using an HTTP request builder extension from Mozilla, and it worked, so I guess the problem is how to do it on Tornado?

Sorry, it seems that it missed the content-type
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
from tornado.httputil import HTTPHeaders
from tornado.httpclient import HTTPClient, HTTPRequest
from tornado.gen import coroutine
url = "https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/sandbox/wor.txt"
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
#coroutine
def get(self):
headers = HTTPHeaders({'Authorization': 'Bearer DROPBOX_TOKEN', 'Content-Type':'text/plain'})
HTTPClient().fetch(
HTTPRequest(url, 'PUT', body="hello there", headers=headers))
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r"/", MainHandler),
])
if __name__ == "__main__":
application.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
