'How do I do a patch request using HttpClient in dotnet core?

I am trying to create a Patch request with theHttpClient in dotnet core. I have found the other methods,

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    client.GetAsync("/posts");
    client.PostAsync("/posts", ...);
    client.PutAsync("/posts", ...);
    client.DeleteAsync("/posts");
}

but can't seem to find the Patch option. Is it possible to do a Patch request with the HttpClient? If so, can someone show me an example how to do it?

HttpClient does not have patch out of the box. Simply do something like this:

// more things here
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    client.BaseAddress = hostUri;
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", base64Credentials);
    var method = "PATCH";
    var httpVerb = new HttpMethod(method);
    var httpRequestMessage =
        new HttpRequestMessage(httpVerb, path)
        {
            Content = stringContent
        };
    try
    {
        var response = await client.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage);
        if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var responseCode = response.StatusCode;
            var responseJson = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            throw new MyCustomException($"Unexpected http response {responseCode}: {responseJson}");
        }
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        throw new MyCustomException($"Error patching {stringContent} in {path}", exception);
    }
}
