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.

Hi Marco,
The error is basically raised because that's required by the spec [1].
But it's right that the RFC2616 doesn't explicitly forbid DELETE requests with bodies, so we could possibly get rid of the check.
So I guess you’ve stumbled upon an API that expects a payload with DELETE?
Cheers Christian

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.

Grazie, Marco.
You convinced me there is no benefit in keeping the restriction (and it we didn’t add it to the draft of version 2 of the spec either [1]). I’ve just uploaded a new snapshot [2]; I hope it keeps you going.
Ciao, Christian.
