20478	Add basic support for HTTP PATCH method in generic views	Krzysztof Jurewicz	Krzysztof Jurewicz	"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`. [https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=pl&fromgroups#!topic/django-developers/4EwwkdUI4hM Further details and discussion] are available on django-developers."
