Description
There is a RFC describing HTTP method named PATCH:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789
Quoting that RFC:
The difference between the PUT and PATCH requests is reflected 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
is considered to be a modified version of the resource stored on the
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.”
Basic PATCH method support can be added to django.views.generic.base.View and django.views.generic.base.RedirectView. Further details and discussion are available on django-developers.
