Bug #3344: supporting rfc 5789 - http patch verb
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3344

Author: Guilherme Silveira
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: 1.9.x, 1.8.x

I am sending a patch and Changelog file for trunk (should be the same
patch for 1.8) supporting the PATCH verb defined on the approved RFC
5789. Here is the link for such RFC:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789

Patch should be used to partially update resources over the web using
a media type that gives enough information for such procedure.

The patch adds a new PATCH class, similar to POST. It also defines a
patch method to Net::HTTP instance. Finally, the code from post was
refactored out into a send_entity method, because patch and post
tunneling behavior are the same, with the only difference on which
http method being used.

Regards
