We noticed from source code that request body is not included on DELETE request.

 

In our case target API reqiures a body on DELETE request.

Is there any way to workaorund this?

 

Many thanks in advance!

@mzidy Have you tried to append the data you want to pass in the Remote Url?  Some Apis will accept the values in the $_GET request.


For example:

DELETE:  https://api.cloudera.com/api/service/?value1=value1&value2=value2

 

Some apis could be:

DELETE:  https://api.cloudera.com/api/service/1/2/

 

In both these examples the $_GET variables are used not a $_POST.   I believe this may be typical for most DELETE calls and may explain why DELETE doesn't send a $_POST (body).
