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.
Do firewalls typically/ever do deep inspections of HTTP headers in the communication and filter on the HTTP method? It wouldn't even be able to do such a thing if you are using HTTPS, would it?
