Can't Update exisiting product with REST call ( PUT )

[TBusschaert]

Hi There,

I've got a serious issue, I'm trying to update the name of my products using this REST call

/V1/products/sku . 

Now the problem is, I only want to update my name, but I need to include the SKU in the json string. Now what this does is it cant save my product because he thinks it's a new product, but the SKU already exists. How do I update my product name trough the REST api then?

EDIT: Added images of code and error.

first i suggest you use some extension to have a more readable format of your error ( on chrome JSONView) 

second i see that for name you're using single quotes instead of double

i've tested with similar params and is working on a magento 2 clean installation with sample data

{
  "product": {
    "sku": "MH07-M-Green",
    "name": "Hero Hoodie-M-Green new",
    "attributeSetId": 9
  },
  "saveOptions": true
}

here is the code for the request :

<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
 CURLOPT_URL => "http://m2-playground.dev/rest/V1/products/MH07-M-Green",
 CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
 CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
 CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
 CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
 CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "PUT",
 CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\n \"product\": {\n \"sku\": \"MH07-M-Green\",\n \"name\": \"Hero Hoodie-M-Green new\",\n \"attributeSetId\": 9\n },\n \"saveOptions\": true\n}",
 CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
 "authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=\"33mun8ejynbmsii298tcd1r1g521k6gp\",oauth_token=\"vmm8mmo0oc52ysgbg68wqp22qtmp4hbn\",oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\",oauth_timestamp=\"1466211088\",oauth_nonce=\"LUBaL2\",oauth_version=\"1.0\",oauth_signature=\"WQrhwzcV4wGr67S%2FWX7Z2usjvLM%3D\"",
 "cache-control: no-cache",
 "content-type: application/json",
 "postman-token: 096a27cc-4727-3766-0ed2-055f2ca4bd42"
 ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
 echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
 echo $response;
}

and the correct answer expected:

Hi springerin,

unfortunately, it doesn't work for us. We have Magento 2.1.7 and only 

rest/all/V1/products

works. But it is setting all the websites for the product, even if the website_id is sent.

https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/4952

It is the serious issue, I think...
