 > it's not supported because many servers don't support it, or something
 like that. The only thing I could find right now was

 though.

 This isn't a good argument not to support something, IMO.  We support
 plenty of functionality that some servers may not allow, usually with
 appropriate fallbacks and documentation.  One example is the `_method`
 parameter documented [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-
 rest-api/global-parameters/ here].

 discussion?

 I would go ahead and submit the patch, that will help us get it fixed more
 quickly.
