--- Comment #5 from badlink <andrea.9940 at gmail.com> ---
The current version in phobos of std.net.curl.patch does not upload any data in
the http request.

Small testcase: http://pastebin.com/UujEqh4K
Expected: the data field in the response should not be empty

---------------------------------

Workaround: change the switch case in std.net.curl.HTTP.perform:

[...]
        case Method.patch:
            p.curl.set(CurlOption.customrequest, "PATCH");
            p.curl.set(CurlOption.upload, 1L); // add this line
            opt = CurlOption.customrequest;
            break;
[...]

Note: probably this workaround does not leave a clean state.
