[lxc-users] lxd rest api / http method patch doesn't work

[Stéphane Graber]

Absolutely, you just need to use GET and PUT instead of patch, so
re-sending the whole thing with the bits you want changed updated.

PATCH is mostly a convenience around that process which then allows you
to just tell LXD what you want it to change rather than have to pass it
the whole thing again, makes things easier for folks poking at the API
with curl or similar tools.
