DELETE method in Network Request

Question

Hi all,

I have encountered something interesting situation which might be the bug or I am wrong in implementing.

The situation is, I am using App Framework Network Request to get relevant data from the server-side. In order to do that, I found that 'DELETE' method is not accepted raw body as below.

networkRequest.url = some_url

networkRequest.method = "DELETE"

networkRequest.send(JSON.stringify({"keyA":"valueB"})

in the above case, there no body has sent.

But, it'll be in when I change its method as 'POST' as below.

networkRequest.url = some_url

networkRequest.method = "POST"

networkRequest.send(JSON.stringify({"keyA":"valueB"})

I also checked that it's working(but it's not raw body) when I set as form-data as below.

networkRequest.url = some_url

networkRequest.method = "DELETE"

networkRequest.send({"keyA":"valueB"})

Have a check and let me know if you any.

Sean,

I see! I think you have enough testing and reproducible case to report this as a defect. Would you help us to submit this as an official defect through Esri Technical Support‌ so that it will get appropriately logged and prioritized?

Thank you,

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for your reply.

However, I have still encountered a problem using DELETE method with JSON as a raw. Below attachments showing what I've tested for this issue. It's captured from the Filddler and tested with same source code and environment. Just difference is method. POST/DELETE

As you can see, there's a missing body in DELETE method while the POST method works as expected.

Thanks.

Sean.
