Dmitry Potapov commented on HTTPCORE-380:
-----------------------------------------
Also, there is no explicit prohibition for GET to have a payload, too.
RFC2616 doesn't explicitly prohibits payload for DELETE but it is stated that
request "delete the resource identified by the Request-URI", so, two requests
with the same URI should delete the same resources, regardless of payload. In
other words, payload for DELETE requests should be ignored by standard
compliant server. IMHO, there is no sense to allow entities which must be
ignored.

> Hi All,
> I have created a fix to support HTTP DELETEs with entity bodies. In HTTP
> Core, the HttpRequest object (BasicHttpRequest or
> BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest) is made by looking at the HTTP method. But
> sometimes an API could accept HTTP Deletes with payloads for example [1]. To
> support this I have introduced a new type of HTTP requests
> "HttpEntityPossibleEnclosingRequest". By calling the "getFinalHttpRequest"
> method in this class, the proper HTTP request object can be made, i.e.
> HttpRequest or HttpEntityEnclosingRequest. The logic is if the
> HttpEntityPossibleEnclosingRequest has the CONTENT_LENGTH header, an
> HttpEntityEnclosingRequest is made and an HttpRequest is made otherwise.
> Note. the spec does not prohibit an HTTP Delete having a payload [2] [3].
