Is their patch support

[braghome]

I get errors when using it like this
/v1/users/ java.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH

Hi, sorry for the delay in response, I don' t think the underlying HttpUrlConnection class supports PATCH so I don't think it is possible.

Usually most APIs support another request method in lieu of patch. For example the GitHub API supports using POST requests instead of PATCH.

Hi @kevinsawicki, @braghome

HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("PATCH");

Unfortunately it will only accept for
"OPTIONS", "GET", "HEAD", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "TRACE"

Someone should try to override it. See what happens, Like in square/okhttp#498, but removed in square/retrofit#425
