ISSUE-12: Can HTTP PATCH be used for resource creation?

HTTP PATCH for creation

Can HTTP PATCH be used for resource creation?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Linked Data Platform Spec
Raised by:
Raúl García Castro
Opened on:
2012-10-02
Description:
4.7 + 5.8 (HTTP PATCH)

HTTP PATCH MAY be used to create a new resource if the URI does not point to an existing resource.

Are we interested in restricting the usage of PATCH only for updates? Or do we allow this behaviour?
