Hello,
please see
http://jersey.java.net/nonav/apidocs/1.12/jersey/com/sun/jersey/client/urlconnection/URLConnectionClientHandler.html
PATCH (and any "non-standard") http method is not supported by
HttpUrlConnection from jdk and jersey-client uses that. You can
workaround this by using apache client, non-blocking client or mentioned
property (which is only experimental workaround).
Regards,
Pavel
