Description

Java HTTPUrlConnection does not support custom HTTP verbs however CXF does the best effort at getting such methods supported by reflectively updating HTTPUrlConnection during the request.
It does work with plain HTTP but still fails if HTTPS is used.
More reflection fixes are needed.

Note CXF does support such methods OOB with the Apache HttpClient based conduit which can be run in the async or sync modes
