Patch certainly seems more semantically proper in this context, and I love being semantically proper using HTTP… That being said I am not currently sure of any places where this might be a problem. There was mention of the firewall issues, but I don't know if that is necessarily true. </div><div><br></div><div>Do firewalls typically/ever do deep inspections of HTTP headers in the communication and filter on the HTTP method?

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: <a href="http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidLogs">http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidLogs</a>. I wanted to ask if there are any other key infrastructure pieces that foolishly hard-code request methods like this.
