Hi All,

 

We've seen a number of requests from our customers for built-in support of other HTTP methods such as CONNECT, TRACE, and PATCH -- PATCH has been especially requested.

 

While it is currently possible for users to define their own custom HTTP methods, I've seen a few support cases where users are not implementing them properly - for example, one customer did not safely implement a PATCH method for case sensitivity, so when a client sent a "patch" request, they ended up with a 415.  

 

What would you think about adding these methods as annotations in the spec?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
