/**
* HTTP PATCH method.
*
* The HTTP PATCH method is defined in RF5789:
*
* The PATCH
* method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be
* applied to the resource identified by the Request- URI. Differs from the PUT
* method in the way the server processes the enclosed entity to modify the
* resource identified by the Request-URI. In a PUT request, the enclosed entity
* origin server, and the client is requesting that the stored version be
* replaced. With PATCH, however, the enclosed entity contains a set of
* instructions describing how a resource currently residing on the origin
* server should be modified to produce a new version.
*

* @since 4.2
