Gary Gregory commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
------------------------------------------
For my own education... I read:
{quote}
A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the
request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in
requests.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.3
{quote}
Section 5.1.1 then points to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9.7
for the {{DELETE}} method which in turn does not say anything about allowing or
disallowing a message-body.
Am I not finding the right information in the RFC?
