I had a problem of HttpURLConnection Invalid HTTP method: PATCH and got a suggestion here in which the X-HTTP-Method-Override work around did not work out for me. So I tried

CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPatch httpPatch = new HttpPatch(new URI("http://example.com"));
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPatch);

where I am facing a challenge. My request is an HTTPS request and I have the url as https://192.168.1.1/foo/bar. I neither know the hostname of the ip 192.168.1.1 which is validated by CloseableHttpClient with the hostname on the certificate, nor want to perform a DNS look up to happen(not even in the known hosts).

Are there any feasibility to perform a PATCH request in my case?

In what way did the first workaround not work? What error did you get? – ordonezalex Mar 30 '16 at 18:16
It hits the POST end point which is destined to create a resource and throws resource already exists. – Sree Karthik S R Mar 31 '16 at 06:06
