I don't know how popular is it. We have just started to use it with one of our services and discovered that we cannot use it with HttpURLConnection at all. And I thought when we add the support for PATCH to HttpURLConnection, then it would be nice to have it in HTTP Client too. When you decided not to add it to HTTP Client, then it is OK for me too. But I think that HttpURLConnection should be changed. Best regards, Andrej Golovnin
