[Python] Nginx responds to http 'patch' requests with 400 bad request error

I work on a Django project + django-rest-framework. On localhost, PATCH requests work perfectly fine. However, on server, PATCH requests do not work. I get a 400 Bad request error. I use nginx to configure the web server.

server {
listen 80;
server_name x.y.z.com;
root /var/www/path-to/project;

location / {
error_page 404 = 404;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5555/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_intercept_errors on;
}
}
