Comment:

 One critical part was left out from this change, GET variables are
 processed as expected, however the body being sent (that we usually refer
 to as POST data) isn't being sent.

 As a result, using methods such as PATCH which expect a body, causes the
 remote server to wait for the data.. which isn't going to be sent. causing
 a timeout.  Ignoring the timeout issue, custom requests are useless
 without adding the body to the request.
