Body of Http.DELETE request in Angular2

Question

I\'m trying to talk to a somewhat RESTful API from an Angular 2 frontend.

To remove some item from a collection, I need to send some other data in addition to the re

Answer 1

The REST doesn't prevent body inclusion with DELETE request but it is better to use query string as it is most standarized (unless you need the data to be encrypted)

I got it to work with angular 2 by doing following:

let options:any = {}
option.header = new Headers({
    'header_name':'value'
});

options.search = new URLSearchParams();
options.search.set("query_string_key", "query_string_value");

this.http.delete("/your/url", options).subscribe(...)
