Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1828:
-----------------------------------------------
Gary
I will not stand in your way but let me re-iterate the same things I have been
saying over and over again when this subject pops up
# DELETE request with body are monumentally *stupid*
# People who insist on doing stupid things have an easy way of doing it with a
few lines of custom code
# HttpClient 4.x conforms to RFC 2616 only. It does not conform to later
revisions of the protocol
# RFC 2616 states clearly and unambiguously that only PUT and POST requests can
enclose body
# Allowing DELETE requests to enclose body and not doing likewise for GET and
other method would not only be silly but also contradictory.
