The HTTPAccept-Patchresponse header advertises whichmedia types the server is able to understand in aPATCH request.For example, a server receiving aPATCH request with an unsupported media type could reply with415 Unsupported Media Type and anAccept-Patch header referencing one or more supported media types.

The header should appear inOPTIONS requests to a resource that supports thePATCH method.AnAccept-Patch header in a response to any request method implicitly means that aPATCH is allowed on the target resource in the request.

Syntax

Accept-Patch: <media-type>/<subtype>Accept-Patch: <media-type>/*Accept-Patch: */*// Comma-separated list of media typesAccept-Patch: <media-type>/<subtype>, <media-type>/<subtype>
