Hi

I have tries to sent a  TIdHTTP.Delete request with  a stream body the same as like a TIdHTTP.Post. Unfortunately there is no overload function for Delete what accept this (Delphi 10.2).

On Internet I found "The latest update to the HTTP 1.1 specification (RFC 7231) explicitly permits an entity body in a DELETE request:"

Is there a workaround so I can send a DELETE request with a body?

Thank you for your answer

As you have noticed, TIdHTTP does not currently have an overload for the Delete() method that accepts body content. You will have to call the protected DoRequest() method directly, eg:

Code:
type
  TIdHTTPAccess = class(TIdHTTP)
  end;

TIdHTTPAccess(IdHTTP1).DoRequest('DELETE', URL, BodyStreamHere, nil, []);
