AttributeRouting Add PATCH, HEAD, and OPTIONS attributes.

Hi Tom, This is a coincidence. I was just searching of these very attributes in the AttributeRouting codebase today and stumbled upon this post. Do you have a ballpark ETA for this item? I am using AttributeRouting with WebAPI and would much like to use PATCH in my action methods accepting Delta<T> for partial entity updates. TIA

No timeframe. You could just use [HttpRoute("url", HttpMethod.Patch)] for now.

That was preceisley what I was trying to do but the HttpMethod does not seem to have a the "Patch" verb property on it. Am I missing something?

Hmm. I think you are missing something. Can try a spike in the next day or two. Should be there, though.

My reference is coming from the following location. Look right?

System.Net.Http.dll, v4.0.0.0 C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Net.Http.dll

For now I ended up defining my own PATCH attribute like so: public class PATCHAttribute : HttpRouteAttribute { ///

    /// Specify a route for a GET request.
    /// </summary>


    /// <param name="routeUrl">The url that is associated with this action</param>
    public PATCHAttribute(string routeUrl) : base(routeUrl, new HttpMethod("PATCH")) {}
}

and decorating my actions like so: [PATCH("api/Products/{id}",RouteName="PatchProduct")] public HttpResponseMessage PatchProduct(string id,Delta<ProductDTO> productDelta) { //do whatever with the delta }

A side note: I have removed the "DefaultAPI" route from the WebAPIConfig.cs
