Custom HTTP methods

[arjunmenon]

Is there a way to call custom HTTP methods like SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY with this?

Hi @arjunmenon, Is this fixed?

I have moved on to okhttp

For future coders... #144 #91 #53

I need to use PATCH method. Thus, we got such a workaround. Can use any protocols

HttpRequest request;
if (method.equals("PATCH")) {
    request = new HttpRequest(url, "POST");
    HttpURLConnection conn = request.getConnection();
    Field statFinField = HttpURLConnection.class.getDeclaredField("method");
    statFinField.setAccessible(true);
    statFinField.set(conn, "PATCH");

    statFinField = HttpsURLConnectionImpl.class.getDeclaredField("delegate");
    statFinField.setAccessible(true);
    DelegateHttpsURLConnection z = (DelegateHttpsURLConnection)statFinField.get(conn);

    Field delegateField = HttpURLConnection.class.getDeclaredField("method");
    delegateField.setAccessible(true);
    delegateField.set(z, "PATCH");

    statFinField.set(conn, z);

    statFinField = HttpRequest.class.getDeclaredField("requestMethod");
    statFinField.setAccessible(true);
    statFinField.set(request, "PATCH");

}
else {
     request = new HttpRequest(url, method);
