A comment on PATCH Method for HTTP.

Now annoyingly the ELB on AWS just bounces PATCH requests with a 405 Method Not Allowed. Our services are affected by this and I noticed there is a bug open over at Heroku regarding the same issue. It's something Amazon don't document though so you only find out through testing after you already created your planned stack...

Indeed, it also affects http://httpbin.org/ which makes it way harder to test clients. Considering the spec has been out since 2010, you'd think they'd have fixed it by now.

It's a Request For Comments and not a standard. It's also at the most immature level on the standards track. Why would they implement something that may change drastically or never be implemented widely enough to justify the engineering effort?
