Julian Reschke commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
--------------------------------------------
bq. You are very welcome to have a different opinion but a simple, irrefutable
fact is that HttpClient 4.x has been built to conform to RFC 2616. It makes no
sense to make it partially compliant with RFC723x in some areas and
non-complaint in some others.
Well, it should be built to conform to HTTP/1.1. Being partially compliant to
the newer spec certainly isn't ideal, but nor is it to be compliant to an
obsolete spec.
bq. And what makes absolutely no sense of what so ever is DELETE and GET with
enclosed entity.
I agree that it shouldn't be used. The question is whether the HTTP client
library should enforce this.

> Sending body in DELETE is allowed as the HTTP 1.1 specification does not

> HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase instead of HttpRequestBase.
