How to complete the challenge POST /todos/id (404)

How to use a POST request to try to update a todo item in the application, but the todo item id should not exist.

POST /todos/id (404)

Issue a POST request to try and update a todo, but no todo with this id should exist

• POST request will update a todo if the provided id exists /todos/id end point
  • e.g. POST /todos/3 for a todo with id==3
• 404 is a failure code, in this case it means no todo with this id exists
• The body of the message should be a json or xml partial set of todo details,
• and the json or xml should be defined in the content-type header
• The 404 response should have an error message explaining the problem

Basic Instructions

• Issue a POST request to end point "/todos/id"
  • where id is replaced with the id of a todo that does not exist
    • if you don't know any then a GET /todos would show a list of todos.
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos/id
• The request should have an X-CHALLENGER header to track challenge completion
• The content-type in the message should be application/json because we are sending a JSON payload
• The Payload should have a partial set of todo details. e.g.

{
  "title": "updated title"
}

• The response status code should be 404 when the details are valid and the id does not exist.
• The body of the response will be a JSON showing the error.
