And the python sample they shared from my working postman PATCH is:

import requests
import json

url = "https://ltm15/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~nginx-pool/members/~Common~172.16.102.5:80"

payload = json.dumps({
  "session": "user-disabled",
  "state": "user-down"
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Basic notsofastmyfriends',
  'Cookie': 'BIGIPAuthCookie=supersecretpassphrasehere; BIGIPAuthUsernameCookie=admin'
}

response = requests.request("PATCH", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

I tried the same and got Method Not Allowed, something similar. also, fixed the quotes and pairs.

Not sure, If I put the same via PostMan its accepting but not via Py. :(

json.dumps({"session": "user-disabled"})
