Description
Description
The Java Agent currently tracks HTTP Methods, GET, PUT, DELETE, etc. This request is to get the same information on PATCH.
Acceptance Criteria
Missing HTTP verbs (especially PATCH) will now be tracked
Design Consideration/Limitations
If the implementation is specific to a particular HTTP client library, we may need to implement this on multiple supported by the agent.
Dependencies

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Java Agent's existing HTTP method tracking and the supported HTTP client integrations. Determine where GET, PUT, and DELETE are captured, then check which clients need PATCH and other missing verbs. Done means missing HTTP verbs, especially PATCH, are tracked across the applicable supported clients.
