PATCH? If you mean GET, then the answer is no. Data sent via POST is not 
appended to the submitted URL, as it is with GET. That indeed should be 
the answer to your problem.

Sometimes you'll see docs refer to 'side-channel' or 'out-of-band', 
meaning the data and URL are sent via 2 separate channels, which is (as 
I understand it), no more than what I said :-).
