Description

Recently the IETF has published proposed standards to add the PATCH method to the REST protocol:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396

This allows the programmer to update a single attribute of an object in-place instead of needing to GET the object and then replace the entire object. Ruby libraries for adding this support may be found here:

http://jsonpatch.com/

  • Category set to API

Note that the current PUT support in Foreman's API works in the same way as a patch, it only updates the attributes provided.
