----------------------------------------------------
bq. How do you DELETE a collection of items in REST anyway?
I would like to clarify that I am not creating a REST service but trying to
create a client for a DELETE method that has body. But unfortunately it seems
like it is not possible, to set HttpEntity to a Method that does not extend
{{HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase}}, in Apache http client framework.
bq. Why should we? It is trivial to subclass {{HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase}}
and create a custom {{DELETE}} method implementation for those who think they
need it.
I am not sure why this is not allowed in 4.5.x and the same is allowed in 5.x
although the page at
[httpcomponents|http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga] says both are an
implementation of HTTP 1.0 and 1.1. It would be great if the framework takes
care of creating a client in such a way rather than I implement the logic of my
own.

> Sending body in DELETE is allowed as the HTTP 1.1 specification does not
> forbid. Hence HttpDelete.class should extend from
> HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase instead of HttpRequestBase.
