How Can I Perform A Http Delete Request With Body?

I want to perform a HTTP DELETE request with a xml in the body (not a form). How can I perform this HTTP DELETE request? I tried with HttpURLConnection but there are some limitatio

Solution 1:

This code will make it:

try {
        HttpEntityentity=newStringEntity(jsonArray.toString());
        HttpClienthttpClient=newDefaultHttpClient();
        HttpDeleteWithBodyhttpDeleteWithBody=newHttpDeleteWithBody("http://10.17.1.72:8080/contacts");
        httpDeleteWithBody.setEntity(entity);

        HttpResponseresponse= httpClient.execute(httpDeleteWithBody);

    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

To access the response you can simply do: response.getStatusLine();

And here is the HttpDeleteWithBody class definition: HttpDeleteWithBody

Solution 2:

why not do this with HttpClient

classMyDeleteextendsHttpPost{
    publicMyDelete(String url){
        super(url);
    }
    @OverridepublicStringgetMethod() {
        return"DELETE";
    }

}

it works well.
