A payload within a DELETE request is ignored resulting "Invalid request data" from web services. about rest-core HOT 4 CLOSED

Oh, I was just about to say that I released rest-builder 0.9.2 :)

Thank you for confirming and using rest-core.

I remembered that I once touched this, because I realized that DELETE shouldn't have any payload according to the specification.

However if that works, and people need it, I don't mind to support it. Could you please see if this patch would work for you?

Note that this is now implemented in https://github.com/godfat/rest-builder so you'll need to apply the patch there. Let me know if you don't know how to patch it.

Yes. I was able to patch that in rest-builder & DELETE is working perfectly with the change. It is needed for us to perform batch deletions where we wish to send bulk Ids in the REQUEST_PAYLOAD.
