Hi, it is more a Feature-Request than a Bug-Report. I want to make a DELETE Request and add a Body. When making a PUT/POST Request there is the posibility to get the Body bei POSTDATA or PUTDATA. What about DELETEDATA? I read in the RFC 2616 about HTTP/1.1 and didn't find anything which forbids it. So what do you think? Is it something you can add to the Code? Thanks a lot Oliver Joa

Oliver, Could you provide an example of how you would use this? Also, could you cite some other frameworks that provide this? Mark

we need the request-body in the DELETE-method for building a sellOrder on a depot-management-system. This is an abstract function and we need full xml-objectData in the body to handle this workflow. In background there will we startet much more actions, so we could not only make a plain delete without further quote-, quantitydata and notes. [...] Thanks Olli

Thanks. And can you cite examples of other frameworks that provide this feature? (Direct documentation links are preferred). Mark

Rejecting. I've had a look and, whilst trivial to add, it breaks backwards compatibility horribly as the DELETE support in CGI.pm currently allows url parameters in the query string. Moving them to be in the body will no doubt break code for lots of users. The nature of the request you are making ("building a sellOrder") sounds more like a PUT or a POST than a DELETE anyway. Since there is still no definitive spec on sending content with GET or DELETE and different frameworks are prone to do different things, ignoring the content in most cases, i'm leaving this as is.
