Hey guys,

I'm considering using PATCH rather than PUT for image updates in the v2 Image API, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any major blockers that I might be missing. As far as I can tell, the python libraries we use in Glance support it (httplib2, requests). However, I discovered that Squid doesn't document official support of the method: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidLogs. I wanted to ask if there are any other key infrastructure pieces that foolishly hard-code request methods like this. It might make us want to rethink using PATCH at all.
