--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- I am aware of what is written in the specs (did quite some research on the topic myself, most specs simply dont mention it, the one you quoted just says "yes, you can do it, it does not have any fixed syntax from our side, and no guarantee it works with old implementations" (as in: sending a DELETE with body to a server that does not support it ... but who would want to do that anyhow). The stackoverflow link also gives an example of an API other than the one I need to test that uses this, http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/delete-by-query/ So in general I think it should be allowed to set a body for DELETE requests, maybe to be considered together with 55256. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
