```
… operations

In Internet Explorer 8, the native XMLHttpRequest object does not allow the
HTTP PATCH method. This tests that in IE8, when performing a PATCH, we fall
back to ActiveXObject.

fix($httpBackend): fix HTTP PATCH requests in IE8

In Internet Explorer 8, the native XMLHttpRequest object does not allow the
HTTP PATCH method. In order to accomplish a PATCH, you need to use the ActiveX
object. Update the default XHR to use the ActiveX object when doing a PATCH in
IE8. See the following for documentation:
