idHTTP.Delete does not support body data - wolfgang@koeppner-bures.at - 01-04-2020
Hi!
idHTTP.Delete has no parameter to accept body data while e.g. spotify asks for some:
https://developer.spotify.com/console/delete-playlist-tracks/
can this be added sometime?
Thanks

The TIdHTTP.Delete() method is just a thin wrapper for the protected TIdHTTP.DoRequest() method, which has an ASource parameter that TIdHTTP.Delete() sets to nil. You can simply call the DoRequest() method directly with your desired body data, eg:
Code:
type
TIdHTTPAccess = class(TIdHTTP)
end;
var
Data: TStringStream;
begin
Data := TStringStream.Create('... body data here ...', TEncoding.UTF8);
try
TIdHTTPAccess(IdHTTP1).DoRequest(Id_HTTPMethodDelete, 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks', Data, nil, []);
finally
Data.Free;
end;
end;I have opened a ticket in Indy's issue tracker to add new overloads to TIdHTTP.Delete() for sending body data:
#277 Add overload for TIdHTTP.Delete() to send body data

Yes, that's what I did. :-)
Thanks for taking this a level further :-)
