Hello,
currently the RestClient is not supporting request bodies in DELETE requests which is very limiting - especially in cases where additional data beyond URL parameters are needed - such as Remove Roles from Organization Members from Auth0.
Are there any plans to support this in upcoming releases ?
Best regards, Peter

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7231#section-4.3.5
A payload within a DELETE request message has no defined semantics; sending a payload body on a DELETE request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.
Delete with payload is allowed but not recommended.

hello @quaff and thank you for responding
it might not be recommended, but the reality shows there is a need for it → the API from Auth0 - linked in my previous comment - simply requires a payload with a DELETE request
this is unfortunately not possible at the moment - which is why I have made a request here
in my opinion it should be up to the consumer who makes the request to decide in what way he makes a request and then let a server decide how to respond to it

Have you tried restClient.method(HttpMethod.DELETE).body()?

That's quite a one-side view of things IMO. Having the spec not recommending this in such terms is a certainly a valid reason for us not exposing a first-class concept for this. Does method help?

this was also mentioned from quaff before ... what makes you come to this conclusion ? taking the quote from the RFC
A payload within a DELETE request message has no defined semantics; sending a payload body on a DELETE request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.
I don't see anything saying that it's not recommended

now I have and thank you this one works :+1:
