Alexey Levan commented on HTTPCLIENT-1124:
------------------------------------------
But in RFC 2616 all methods can have an entity (see above). Which is confirmed
by one of HTTP authors (see above). So I think it's about time to change
HttpClient.
> Can't send request body with HTTP methods other than POST and PUT

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1124
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1124
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.1.2
> Reporter: Alexey Levan
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'd like to have a possibility to send an HttpEntity regardless of method of
> request. The HTTP spec doesn't prohibit that (AFAIK, even GET requests with
> body are allowed), and any spec-compliant implementation shouldn't do it
> either. I suggest merging HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase with
> HttpRequestBase, since there's really no reason to make this artifical
> restriction.
