Ah, got it. In that case, I would just use an extended URI instead of passing a parameter, as in:
If the index URI = /index/MyIndex ...and the node URI = /node/12134 ...the compound URI to delete could be either: /index/MyIndex/node/12134 ...or... /index/MyIndex/12134 Rick -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mattias Persson Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 12:21 PM To: Neo user discussions Subject: Re: [Neo] Indexing in the REST API DELETE on a node URI means delete the Node.
