Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
-----------------------------------------------
Hi Gary
Clirr check will likely pass as {{HttpDelete}} has been made to implement an
optional interface. The problem is that if released in a patch release (like
4.5.4) API visible changes automatically become a part of the public APIs
without any chance of being revised or corrected in case of compatibility
problems or user feedback. We have already done a number of such changes in the
4.5 release series, but changing {HttpGet}} to extend
{{HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase}} would be too big to just sneak in and hope
that no one notices.
No need to rush it, though. Not until you are back home.

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