allow_​patch

Behavior name: Allow PATCH

Allow HTTP requests using the PATCH method. By default, GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests are allowed, and all other methods result in a 501 error. Such content does not cache, and any PATCH requests pass to the origin.

> Important: PATCH requests require a Content-Length header, even if they don't contain a body, or they result in a 411 Length Required error.
>
> Include the header with requests and set a message body size in bytes. If the request has no body, set the header to 0.
