Sebb commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
----------------------------------
RFC 7231 says [1]:
{quote}
A payload within a DELETE request message has no defined semantics;
sending a payload body on a DELETE request might cause some existing
implementations to reject the request.
{quote}
AFAICT from a quick scan of 7231, the only verb that explicitly disallows a
body is TRACE.
For some of the others, such as DELETE, there are no defined semantics but the
body is not disallowed.
