Gary Gregory commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
------------------------------------------
My POV is that we should allow programmers to work with whatever web services
dish out there in the big bad world, within some reason of course. In this
case, since the spec does not disallow a body in DELETE, I think we should
allow HC to do it. Let's not forget that this ticket is driver by a user
request. If it were just me, I'd go through and change the other verbs that do
not disallow a body (but I'm not going to do that ATM.)

> 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.
