For what it's worth... "PATCH is going to be the primary method for updates in Rails 4.0." http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/2/25/edge-rails-patch-is-the-new-primary-http-method-for-updates/ http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/2/25/edge-rails-patch-is-... That's not intended to be a counterpoint. In the wild, many companies don't use Rails. :)

It doesn't matter what Rails decides to do if your HTTP server doesn't support it. With that said, it looks like many do already support it (from the same article you linked): Apache, nginx, Phusion Passenger, Unicorn, Thin, and WEBrick.

  Also, Rails supports an override as well, so you can send it as a POST but specify a different verb in a header, and it will treat it as a native request with the correct verb.
