Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-380:
--------------------------------------------
@Gary: HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transports in HC 5.0 are intended to be compliant
with RFC 7230 (and related) and RFC 7540 (and related) and therefore impose no
restrictions on message payload for methods other than TRACE. HC 4.x are meant
to be compliant with RFC 2616 (and related) whereby one can argue an enclosed
message payload is legal for POST and PUT methods only.

> 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].
