-----------------------------------
Looks like this might have been fixed upstream in Ranger? RANGER-1726
> Knox dropping request body for http DELETE requests

> The problem is with the deleting users in Ranger when proxied through Knox.
> The issue is the DELETE http request. Ranger appears to be sending the delete
> data (user to be deleted) as message body.
> [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.3 http/1.1 specs] are not
> clear on whether DELETE should support method body or not, it explicitly
> states so, for PUT and POST though. As a result HttpClient implementation
> does not support request body and the the request body is dropped (see
> org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpDelete) which is the problem we are seeing
> here.
>
> It appears to me that the REST api implementation for DELETE appears to be
> non-standard for Ranger.
