Hi Tom,
This is a coincidence. I was just searching of these very attributes in the AttributeRouting codebase today and stumbled upon this post. Do you have a ballpark ETA for this item? I am using AttributeRouting with WebAPI and would much like to use PATCH in my action methods accepting Delta for partial entity updates.
TIA

No timeframe. You could just use [HttpRoute("url", HttpMethod.Patch)] for
now.

That was preceisley what I was trying to do but the HttpMethod does not seem to have a the "Patch" verb property on it. Am I missing something?

Hmm. I think you are missing something. Can try a spike in the next day or
two. Should be there, though.

My reference is coming from the following location. Look right?

System.Net.Http.dll, v4.0.0.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Net.Http.dll

For now I ended up defining my own PATCH attribute like so:
public class PATCHAttribute : HttpRouteAttribute
{
///

    /// Specify a route for a GET request.
    /// </summary>


    /// <param name="routeUrl">The url that is associated with this action</param>
    public PATCHAttribute(string routeUrl) : base(routeUrl, new HttpMethod("PATCH")) {}
}

and decorating my actions like so:
[PATCH("api/Products/{id}",RouteName="PatchProduct")]
public HttpResponseMessage PatchProduct(string id,Delta productDelta)
{
//do whatever with the delta
}

A side note: I have removed the "DefaultAPI" route from the WebAPIConfig.cs
