I was stupid and wasn't correctly removing the parentId from the body.

| Jun 9, 2017 at 13:07 | comment | added | sfdcfox♦ | @Konstantine you need to create a multipart body, as outlined in the documentation. You can't send a raw body by itself. | |
| Jun 9, 2017 at 13:00 | comment | added | PentaKon | I have the attachment ID but you said I cannot use it. As explained in my question the only thing I'm doing is creating an XHR object with the given url (which contains the attachmentID) and setting the body as the new binary object. I'm not using any apex or salesforce specific stuff, I just want to use the REST Api. What should I do, because just calling that URL with a PATCH method doesn't seem to work... | |

I don't think that's going to work. Inside the visual force page, I download the attachment's body as a blob and show it in my application. The page itself has no knowledge of the attachmentId used so how will it know which attachment to update?
