RE: Access HTTP DELETE method using LIBHTTP

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think Scott implemented DELETE as a standalone procedure although it is talked about in this thread (http://www.scottklement.com/archives/ftpapi/201206/msg00015.html) using http_persist_req.

Version 1.24
  - BETA15: Added http_persist_req() as a method of invoking        
            any HTTP method (not limited to GET/POST). It's         
            expected that an http_req() procedure will be added     
            in next release that will utilize this.

So you can call http_persist_req to do a DELETE

http_persist_req(): Perform (any) Persistent HTTP Request        
                                                                 
     peMethod = (input) Operation to perform. Should be one of:  
                        'GET', 'DELETE', 'PUT', 'POST', 'HEAD'   
       peComm = (input) pointer to persistent HTTP comm session  
        peURL = (input) URL of resource to perform operation on  

Looking quick, I couldn't find an example of using the http_persist_xxxx procedures.
I think you need to: 
http_persist_open
http_persist_req
http_persist_close  

Okay, I looked one more time and here it is!

Subject: Access HTTP DELETE method using LIBHTTP

Hi all,

Both GET & DELETE methods of restful webservice is using same URL pattern
but doing different operation based on http access methods (GET / DELETE )

The URL pattern for both operation is similar to this..

http:...../rest/categoryservice/category/001/

I could access the GET using http_url_get_xml and do what i want.
but what method should I use to access DELETE method ?

Thanks
Dhanushka
