HI Daniel, Team

Thanks for the responses.

I have been looking at the CURL code available at git.

I see that the code sets the CUSTOMREQUEST option and the postdatafields as well
for this purpose of sending DELETE with the data-body. With the call to
multi_easy_perform(), do we just copy the header first to a data-buffer, place the
data-body following the header and send it as a DELETE request based on the
CUSTOMREQUEST option ? With packet-captures, I do see that the request goes
out as DELETE, but just wanted to confirm if this is the case. Please confirm.

Best
Prasanna, V

 It tells libcurl to do such a request! Seriously though,
 there's nothing strange in there and anything speaking TCP
 could be made to send that.

 I would assume you can, but this is quite likely not a good
 place to ask that question - we're kind of focused on
 libcurl here. Surely there are much more suitable Apache
 HTTP client forums or lists to ask that question!
