Re: [Resteasy-developers] delete with body

[Michael B. <mic...@gm...>]

That was the answer i was expecting, however i don't find that in the spec.
So if someone can point me to it...

Note that section 9.7 [1] does not mention a request entity.
While for example 9.8 mentions: A TRACE request MUST NOT include an entity.
And section 4.3 [2] says:
A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification
of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an
entity-body in requests.

If it is indeed not allowed, should resteasy not report on error on
deploying a resource with a delete method with body?
And also for the client framework when creating a proxy.
