Re: [basex-talk] HTTP Client DELETE with body

So I guess you’ve stumbled upon an API that expects a payload with DELETE?

Yes Christian, trying to delete an application role association to a user on the Keycloak REST APIs requires the role to be passed as JSON object in the DELETE body [1].

So at the moment I'm able to add roles to a user but I cannot change them because I'm unabale to remove one.

Telling just because you asked ;-)

Thanks a lot anyway for your attention.

Dear all,

I have to call an API which model an HTTP DELETE operation based
on the
body of the request.

It looks like currently http:send-request is not allowing body to be
present ("Body not expected for method DELETE.").

I feel that this is bit too restrictive interpretation of the spec
which
states (as far as I recall) that there is no defined semantic for the
operation but not that it is forbidden.

Is there any possibility to relax this behaviour and allow for
bodies in
DELETE calls? [1]

Thank you very much.

Marco.
