Feedback on: Supporting PUT and DELETE with HTML FORMS @ 2011-04-04
1.2. Assumptions
I think that DELETE requires the same support as PUT and POST. The requirement
for this was posted to public-html-comments:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-comments/2011Apr/0020.html
I would suggest that DELETE uses the same URI encoding rules as for GET by
default, with the option of also being allowed to be encoded in the same
enctypes as for PUT and POST. This will allow for a DELETE request using query
parameters to be constructed through a form or, for the other enctypes, for the
DELETE request to be embedded with configurable attributes.
For example, it would be great to be able to generate a DELETE request to a uri
like:
<form action="http://example.org/user"” method=”delete” if-match="*">
<input name="hat-size" type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
*** REQUEST
DELETE user?hat-size=small HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.org
What's the use case for the "other" encoding (form field in payload)???
