A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Partial Document Changes (PATCH Method) for HTTP
Author(s) : L. Dusseault
Filename : draft-dusseault-http-patch-01.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2004-4-26
Several applications extending HTTP require a feature to do partial
resource modification. Existing HTTP functionality only allows a
complete replacement of a document. This proposal adds a new HTTP
method, PATCH, to modify an existing HTTP resource.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dusseault-http-patch-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
