[web2py] restful DELETE not getting vars

[weheh]

Using latest release 1.3.x. 

@request.restful()
def rest():
    response.view = 'generic.json'
    def GET(*args, **vars):
...
    def POST(*args, **vars):
...
    def PUT(*args, **vars):
...
    def DELETE(*args, **vars):
        if 'delete' in args[0]:
            return delete(api_key=vars['api_key'],
                          item_id=vars['item_id']
                          )
        raise HTTP(400)
    return locals()



def test_rest(request_type, api_func, vars):
    import httplib
    import urllib
    headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                "Accept": "text/plain"}
    conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(yak_globs.HOST)
    conn.request(request_type,
                '/api/rest/%s' % api_func,
                urllib.urlencode(vars),
                headers,
                )
    response = conn.getresponse()
    return response.read()


def test_rest_delete():
    vars = dict(
        api_key='some string',
        item_id=439,
        )
    return test_rest('DELETE', 'delete', vars)



Problem is, vars for DELETE gets passed as empty dict {}. If instead of 
'DELETE' I reference 'POST', the vars get passed correctly. Am I doing 
something wrong, or is it a bug?
