I'm attempting to interface with an API that requires XML data to be contained in the body of an HTTP DELETE request. I'm using urlfetch in AppEngine and the payload is simply ignored for DELETE requests.
After reading this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/299628/is-an-entity-body-allowed-for-an-http-delete-request, I realize that the standard probably doesn't allow body content on DELETE requests and that's why urlfetch is stripping the body.
So my question is: is there some sort of work-around to append body content in app engine when urlfetch ignores the payload?
